The title of Bungie returns remastered through the big door and does so through the Xbox Game Pass subscription service for Xbox and PC.
The wait is over: Halo: Reach is now available on Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One and PC through Halo: The Master Chief Collection; also on Steam at an individual price of 9.99 euros. The last title of Bungie, original authors of the saga, has debuted with really high interest figures in both sales and viewers.
According to the first data recorded, the title reached a peak of 161,024 concurrent players only on the Valve digital platform; very close to the records of other titans of the platform such as PUBG, Counter Strike: Global Offensive and DOTA 2. During the day of its launch, December 3, 2019, it surpassed others such as Desiny 2, Grand Theft Auto V or Rainbow Six : Siege.
According to Nibel on Twitter, from the Twitch streaming platform there were more than 114,000 viewers, the third best viewer record of the day; only behind Counter Strike: Global Offensive and DOTA 2.

How to access Halo: Reach from Xbox One and PC via Xbox Game Pass
Regarding the method of accessing the title in Xbox Game Pass, there are some aspects to consider. On Xbox One you can play in 4K / HDR with 60 FPS and add multiplayer mode (which includes Forge and Theater) automatically for those who own Halo: The Master Chief Collection; while the Halo Reach and Firefight campaign are jointly offered as an additional purchase, such as a DLC, on both platforms.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers (PC and Xbox One) can access the full Halo Reach experience (campaign and multiplayer) through Halo: The Master Chief Collection as long as they remain subscribed. That is, XGP players have everything at their disposal; However, if you have the game purchased it is when the changes arrive. Halo Reach becomes a premium purchase in the Microsoft Store with its Campaign, Multiplayer and Firefight.
For those who ask: for now, 343 Industries does not plan to bring Halo 5 to The Master Chief Collection, which is the only one not yet contemplated in the collection. Those who play on PC will have facilities for the installation of mods.
