Big updates for Minecraft Dungeons, Halo, and Gears 5!
Overnight, Xbox highlighted three huge updates for some of their most loved titles, Minecraft Dungeons, Halo: Master Chief Collection, and Gears 5.
First up is the much-requested cross-platform play coming to Minecraft Dungeons.

As of today, Halo 4 is available on PC as a part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Alongside the stunning single-player campaign, there are also 25 multiplayer maps, as well as an updated armour customisation system, and the Spartan Ops co-op mode.

Finally, the Gears 5 multiplayer has been completely revamped with the launch of Operation 5: Hollow Storm. A themed update, Operation 5 takes players back to the battles in Gears of War 2 and Gears of War 3 through fan-favourite character releases such as Dizzy Wallin, Tai Kaliso, and Skorge. Operation 5 also adds significant multiplayer and quality of life updates – including the separation of characters and classes – giving players more freedom to play how they want.
