How to fix Halo: The Master Chief Collection not launching on PC
Unfortunately, among the issues that players have reported since the PC release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, many have reported being unable to get the game to launch from the Microsoft Store of Game Pass application. This has, in turn, led to some players wanting to get a refund for the game, as they feel they are unable to play it.
Fortunately, launching the game isn’t completely broken, and while you won’t be able to launch it from the Microsoft Store or the Game Pass application itself, we do know a workaround. Instead of trying to launch from the app or store, instead search for Halo: The Master Chief Collection in your search box from the Start Menu. This should pull up a couple of options for you, which you can then choose from.
You’ll want to select the first option, which launches the game with Easy Anticheat activated. This should launch the game without any hitches, allowing you to finally log in and play Halo: The Master Chief Collection on PC.

It will only let me select Reach. This is the game pass version.-

Oh, ok! I know that MCC has been released on Xbox for a while, I thought all the games would be available on PC at launch.
Any ETA for the others?
Actually, the description in the Game Pass app seems to indicate that all the games are available (Campaign: Featuring Halo: Reach, Halo: combat Evolved Anniversary, ...). Unfortunately it won't let me copy the text.
They probably just used existing text form the Xbox version.

Yes, Josh has Shacknews SEO guidelines to adhere to. One sentence articles don’t really help us with search engine results placement. We have to pad articles with more words as a result. It is a pain in the butt, but this article is performing very well for us, making Josh’s additional writing work actually worth it.
