Halo 5: Forge Custom Game Browser Comes to the PC this Week

Posted by at 10:04 am on December 7, 2016

When Halo 5: Forge launched for PC earlier this year, it kinda felt like PC players were expected to create map content for the Xbox One community, rather than enjoy the multiplayer component for themselves. That’s going to change this week, with the long promised custom game browser launching on December 8.

As part of a massive new update to the Xbox version of the game called Monitor’s Bounty, PC players will get full access to the Arena and Forge modes. There’s no matchmaking, but with the custom browser you’ll be able to find a match easily enough, or simply create your own.

“We know getting a full fireteam together to run customs isn’t always easy, and while Looking For Group is great for appointment gaming, sometimes you just want to jump in and discover something new,” UX design lead Vincent Hui said. “The new Custom Games Browser enables you to search for in-progress games from the main menu.”

Meanwhile, the content browser will let you browse matches that suit your taste. Here are some screenshots of the UI:
