Microsoft has no plans to bring Halo 5: Guardians to PC, the platform holder has confirmed, after rumours earlier this week claimed that a PC port could be revealed at E3.

In a statement to PC Gamer, a Microsoft spokesperson denied plans to port the game to PC, saying: “Our approach is to deliver epic Halo experiences designed for PC gamers and Windows 10, such as Halo Wars 2 and the recently announced Halo 5: Forge.

“There are no plans to port Halo 5: Guardians to PC.”

The rumour appears to have first emerged from NeoGAF user Enter the Dragon Punch, who claimed that they “have it on good authority from multiple sources that Halo 5 will be coming to PC”.

The claim didn’t seem particularly unlikely, either, given the arrival of multiple former Xbox One exclusives on PC, including Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Quantum Break and Killer Instinct, along with a free-to-play version of Forza Motorsport 6.

Microsoft has also announced plans to launch future games on both Xbox One and PC, including Halo Wars 2, Recore and Sea of Thieves. Dead Rising 4 is also rumoured to be in development for both Xbox One and Windows 10.

Microsoft’s E3 press conference begins at 5:30pm BST next Monday, June 13.
