Forge and Theater for Halo: Reach will be available for Xbox One at launch but will come later for PC, 343 has confirmed.
Explaining the decision in a post on Halo Waypoint, Michael Fahrny, lead producer on Master Chief Collection PC, said making Forge a “true PC first experience” would be a lot of work.
“When you look specifically at Forge and what it truly is, it is a 3D editing tool that was built completely for console,” Fahrny said.
“In some cases, it’s built to have mouse and keyboard support, and in some it’s not – and that’s one of our biggest challenges right now with the feature.
“We’re investigating what the best solution is for both Forge and Theater on PC. We know that to create a true PC first experience for both where it’s full mouse and keyboard support is an undetermined amount of work at this point. And we haven’t done a deep enough dive to determine how much work it truly is due to the priority of getting the main game up and ready.
