Halo developer 343 Industries announced yesterday they’re sunsetting the Halo app for Windows 10, effective today, August 16.

If you ignored that Microsoft had released a Halo app on the Microsoft Store, you’re probably not alone. In addition to providing news, videos, tutorials, and more, the app also served as a launcher for the few Halo games available on Windows 10 such as Halo Wars 2, Halo: Spartan Strike, and Halo 5: Forge.
It’s worth noting that this Halo app is not to be confused with the Halo Channel app, which is a companion app for Halo 5: Guardians and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The latter is still available on Windows 10, Xbox One, as well as iOS and Android, and it’s not being discontinued for now.
343 Industries is currently hard at work on bringing Halo: The Master Chief Collection on PC, as well as the next episode named Halo: Infinite. Earlier this week, the Halo developer also announced that the RTS game Halo Wars 2 won’t receive any new updates as 343 Industries is now fully focused on the two aforementioned projects.
