Summary
- Lenovo confirms recent promotional imagery suggesting a Halo 5: Guardians PC port was an error; the image was a mockup.
- Halo 5: Guardians remains the only mainline Halo title absent from PC, despite its Forge editor's 2016 PC release.
- While Microsoft's increased PC focus raises the possibility of a future Halo 5 PC port, currently no official confirmation exists.
Lenovo has officially debunked rumors of a forthcoming Halo 5: Guardians PC port. A promotional image for the Lenovo Legion Go S mistakenly implied a Steam release, but Lenovo clarified this was a design error.
This leaves Halo 5: Guardians as the sole mainline Halo title unavailable on PC, a notable omission considering the PC release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection and the 2016 launch of the Halo 5: Guardians Forge editor for PC. The absence is particularly puzzling for players wanting to experience the complete Halo storyline on PC. Despite persistent rumors, a PC port has never materialized.
Following the appearance of the erroneous Lenovo Legion Go S mockup, speculation reignited. However, Lenovo's senior community manager, Ben Green, swiftly denied any leak related to the upcoming Xbox Developer Direct event. The image remains on Lenovo's site, though a genuine leak would likely have been removed immediately. Green further stated the image has been flagged for review by the design team.
Halo 5 PC Rumors Debunked by Lenovo
While Lenovo's statement dashes immediate hopes for a Halo 5: Guardians PC port, it doesn't entirely extinguish them. Microsoft's recent emphasis on PC gaming suggests a future release remains possible, although currently unconfirmed. There's no concrete evidence suggesting an imminent arrival.
The Halo franchise's future is intriguing. Halo Studios continues supporting Halo Infinite, yet community desire for new entries grows. Speculation for 2025 includes a potential Combat Evolved remake and even a surprising shift to PlayStation for The Master Chief Collection, although these are unsubstantiated rumors.
