Here’s when Halo: Reach will unlock on PC and Xbox One

Halo: Reach launches today on both Xbox One and Windows PC, but when will it launch? Thankfully, Microsoft has revealed the global release times for Halo: Reach’s re-release, which will release at the same time globally. 

Owners of the Master Chief Collection on Xbox One will receive the Master Chief Collection as a free update. Meanwhile, PC gamers will have the option to buy the game as a standalone title, as part of the Master Chief Collection (on the Windows Store or Steam) or as a free download for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. 

In the UK, Halo: Reach’s PC/Xbox One versions will release at 6 PM. This translates to 10 AM Pacific Time, 1 PM EST, 7 PM in Berlin, 9 PM in Moscow, 3 AM in Tokyo (Dec 4th), 5 AM in Sydney (Dec 4th) and 7 AM in Auckland (Dec 4th). 

Halo: Reach boasts some modest PC system requirements, owing thanks to the game’s Xbox 360 origins. This makes the game easy to run on most modern PCs, even those with integrated graphics chips. AMD’s RX 480 is recommended for 4K 60FPS gameplay, which is incredibly low by today’s standards.
