Halo: The Master Chief Collection possibly joining Xbox Game Pass soon [updated]
Xbox Game Pass is a monthly subscription which gives you access to over a hundred Xbox One and Xbox 360 backward compatible games on your console.
Xbox Game Pass costs $9.99 each month so be sure to check it out if you want a Netflix-style subscription for games. Today, Microsoft released a new trailer for the service which contains a rather welcome surprise. One of the titles which features the Xbox Game Pass "sticker" is Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
Updated March 16, 2018: Xbox deleted the tweet which showed Halo: The Master Chief Collection as one of the Xbox Game Pass titles. However, Xbox Canada posted the video again.
Currently, only Halo 5: Guardians is available on Xbox Game Pass. Unless this is a mistake on the part of the marketing department, it could mean that Halo: The Master Chief Collection is coming to the subscription soon. 343 Industries promised to upgrade the game for Xbox One X too.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection was quite a big deal when it came in 2014. For the first time ever, The Master Chief's entire story was available on one console. The game features a remastered Halo 2: Anniversary, along with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 3, and Halo 4. You can also purchase an Halo 3: ODST add-on for the title if you like. Many owners who bought the game during the launch period got it for free. If you love Halo, or love first-person shooters in general, this this is the definitive collection to own.
