The [[Xbox One]] was released as a successor to the Xbox 360 in 2013. At launch, the Xbox One did not support backward compatibility, meaning games released for the Xbox 360 could not be played on it. As such, a port known as ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' was created, aiming to bring ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 4'' to the platform updated to run at 1080p and 60fps - alongside a newly-remastered ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''. ''Halo 3: ODST'' was later added to the collection in early 2015, and ''Halo: Reach'' in 2019 alongside the collection's launch on PC. The titles were released in succession throughout the following months, with all Xbox and Xbox 360 ''Halo'' titles available on PC as of November 2020. | The [[Xbox One]] was released as a successor to the Xbox 360 in 2013.
