Halo 2 originally came out for the Xbox in 2004 and eventually made its way to PC as a Games for Windows Live title. Since Games for Windows Live shut down years ago, playing the original Halo 2 on PC can be an inconvenient process. Of course, The Anniversary edition fixes all of that, while also adding in remastered graphics, completely remade cinematics and other improvements. On the PC, the game will also support higher resolutions, frame rates and 21:9 displays.

Halo 2: Anniversary comes to PC on May 12^th. If you already own the full Master Chief Collection on Steam, then you will automatically be able to begin downloading it next week. Alternatively, if you are buying the games one at a time, you can get it as DLC for the collection at £6.99. You can also subscribe to Xbox Game Pass for PC and get instant access through there.
