The graphical options are for single and two-player split screen modes, while four-player split screen will run at 60 FPS on both consoles alongside adjustable field-of-view, HDR support, extended draw distance, and Quick Resume support.

343 Industries noted that the graphical improvements for the new consoles will match the “Enhanced” settings of the PC version.

The studio said it plans to support the game with new features, updates, and more customization options in 2021. The upcoming Season 4 will have over 70 unlocks across 50 tiers of nameplates, vehicle skins, and weapon skins.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is now available through Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC through the Microsoft Store and Steam, and Xbox Game Pass.
