Fresh off the release of Halo 3 earlier this month, Halo: The Master Chief Collection will get cross-play before the end of the year. Developer 343 Industries has revealed the feature will come to the FPS games as part of a package of other updates.
In the latest development blog, 343 Industries lists a number of features that will be coming to the space games in 2020. Among them are cross-play, input-based matchmaking, sever region selection, and mouse-and-keyboard support for Xbox. Those first three will come in a package at some point, while the fourth will be part of another roll-out.
Mod support is still coming, the post says, but there's no release window as yet. The EULA - the rules and legal agreement for community-generated content - is in its final stage of iteration, and once that's done, a date can be organised. Halo 4, and Halo 3: ODST's campaign and firefight, are coming to PC this year, too, and firefight will have updated networking.
