During Microsoft's Build 2016 Conference, Xbox boss Phil Spencer took to the stage to talk about the PC versions of Quantum Break and Forza Motorsport 6.

These are both big games, and previously Xbox exclusives, marking a shift by the platform holder that's seeing some of its heavyweight IPs making the jump to PC.

During the presentation, as well as discussing the aforementioned titles, Spencer also answered the question of whether Halo 5: Guardians will get the same treatment and be ported to PC.

According to the man from Microsoft, Halo 5 coming to PC is not on the cards right now, even though Spencer admitted that anything can happen in the future (and bear in mind, there's a free-to-play Halo game currently being trailed on PC, but only in Russia).

Spencer explained the company's position by saying: "In terms of Halo as a FPS on PC, I think there's a ton of opportunity for us right now, but I don't want to get into a world where we're looking back, like at Halo 5, That doesn't mean there's nothing there that could ever end up on PC, but I'd much rather look forward with what our plans are."

So, Halo 6 on PC then anyone?

Thanks, PC Gamer.
