It begins.

The first wave of invites have gone out to a very small group of individuals selected to test Halo: Reach on the PC. Those who have been selected will have access to a single mission in Halo: Reach from today until July 1.

The PC release of Sunset Overdrive is here. Though it was never announced, we saw a few clues that it was happening in the previous weeks, including ratings by the Korean ratings board and the ESRB.

But hey, it's here now. It's available through either the Windows 10 Store or through Steam. It is not part of the Game Pass or Play Anywhere programs. However, it is just $19.99 (USD) and it comes with all of the previously released DLCs, which probably makes the urge to double dip...
