Xbox head Phil Spencer has said that Halo 5: Guardians won’t appear on Windows PC.
“In terms of Halo FPS on PC, I think there’s a ton of opportunity for us right now, but I don’t want to get into a world where we’re looking back, like at Halo 5. It doesn’t mean there’s nothing there that could ever end up on PC, but I’d much rather look forward with what our plans are,” Spencer said, speaking at the Build 2016 conference (as reported by PC Gamer).
Spencer indicated that games need to suit both platforms, rather than forcing something onto PC after an Xbox One release.
“I don’t want to make it some kind of artificial mandate, because then I think we end up with ‘Frankengames’, games that really weren’t meant for a certain platform,” Spencer said. “And because some suit said, ‘Hey, everything’s gotta run on both platforms’, you end up with something people don’t want.”
The next big AAA game to hit Windows PC is Quantum Break, heading to PC and Xbox One on 5 April.
