Halo Infinite (now officially Halo 6will be the first in the stadium FPS franchise to launch day-and-date on PC and Xbox One via Microsoft's "Play Anywhere" initiative. Until then, Master Chief fans looking for their Halo campaign fix on PC will have to reach back to 2007's Halo 2 port for Windows Vista. But something exciting may be on the horizon before the third install of the Saga Reclaimer. In fact, it could be coming this month. The clue is in the quietly updated box art for Halo 5: Guardians.

As Ars Technica spotted, Amazon quietly refreshed its listing of 2016's Halo 5: Guardians over the weekend While the original box art stated 343 Studios' FPS was an exclusive Xbox One ("Only on Xbox One), the box art now says it is a "Xbox One exclusive console." Xbox fans know that that means.

When Microsoft launched Play Anywhere in 2016, it started using Xbox One and the Windows 10 Store. Buy it in one location, play it on both. Such games include Gears of War 4, Forza 7, ReCore, Halo Wars 2 and many others. While this should not be taken as definitive proof Halo 5 is coming to PC, history dictates it's the only possibility. And since the box art is still live, the release could be imminent.

I was not smitten with the Halo 5 campaign, but the Warzone multiplayer gave me plenty to sink my teeth into. If Microsoft and 343 are really bringing it to Windows 10, I would not mind revisiting it in glorious 4K / 60FPS.

Most of all, I can not help but hope that Microsoft enables cross-play between Xbox One and PC users.
