Halo: Reach is making its way to the PC through Halo: The Master Chief Collection. You can play it through Steam, Microsoft Store, or grab it if you have access to the Xbox Game Pass for PC subscription service.

While Halo: Reach initially released in 2010, Microsoft has gone above and beyond to update it for modern consoles and PCs to uplift to deliver the highest quality experience for any player. To ensure everything looks fantastic, players want to know how powerful of a PC they need to have to jump into the game on day one.

The minimum requirements to run game are:

  • AMD HD 6850 or an NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 graphics card
