| '''Series 9''' is the ninth [[series]] update for ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', and was released on [[2022|August 31, 2022]].{{Ref/Reuse|MCCAugust}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/bioroid-boogaloo|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Bioroid Boogaloo|D=27|M=08|Y=2022}} | | '''Series 9''' is the ninth [[series]] update for ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', planned for release on [[2022|August 31, 2022]].{{Ref/Reuse|MCCAugust}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/bioroid-boogaloo|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Bioroid Boogaloo|D=27|M=08|Y=2022}} |

| The series is the first to be released under the "Series" nomenclature; all ''MCC'' updates released between late [[2019]] and [[2021 (real world)|2021]] were done so under the "Season" structure, though due to issues meeting the original development schedule updates were slowed down and the terminology changed. Early on in the support life cycle of the collection, a '''[[Season 9]]''' update was planned for release in 2021, though was ultimately pushed back and cancelled due to issues in development (alongside a hypothetical [[Season 10]]). As such, Series 9 contains much of the content developed for ''The Master Chief Collection'' originally slated for the Season 10 update. The change in Season terminology has also seen {{SeasonPoint|Season Points}} rebranded as [[Spartan Point]]s. | | The series is the first to be released under the "Series" nomenclature; all MCC updates released between late [[2019]] and [[2021 (real world)|2021]] were done so under the "Season" structure, though due to issues meeting the original development schedule updates were slowed down and the terminology changed.

| An update followed Series 9 on July 12, 2023, which introduced [[Theater]] mode into ''[[Halo 4]]'', along with a slew of additional modding items, such as the ability to load in the rest of the ''[[Halo Online]]'' maps, alongside older content from early builds of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halo-4-tenth-anniversary|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=''Halo 4'' Tenth Anniversary|D=06|M=11|Y=2022}}
