New updates rolling out to fix Halo: The Master Chief Collection’s matchmaking

343 Industries has announced plans to rollout a number of server updates today for Halo: The Master Chief Collection that should help improve the matchmaking issues plaguing online multiplayer. In an update posted a few hours ago, the developer acknowledged that since the game's launch yesterday they've received numerous complaints related to slow matchmaking and other issues.

"From everyone at 343 Industries, we are truly sorry and feel your frustration. You deserve better and we are working day and night to find solutions as quickly as possible, with our first priority focused on matchmaking improvements," executive producer Dan Ayoub said.

The updates are expected to roll out this morning, though no specific time was given. These will also be server-side fixes, meaning you won't need to download a content update or reboot your console.

In addition to today's updates, 343 Industries plans on releasing another this weekend, which will address "a number of other community priorities." The developer also made note of an unrelated issue with services causing achievements to not unlock correctly.

"A game as large as Halo: The Master Chief Collection has a massive surface area, and while we made every effort to have the best launch possible for our fans, issues surfaced with launch and we're committed to improving this as fast as possible and get you all into matches. We're committed to improving things as fast as possible so you can have the Halo experience you've been waiting for," Ayoub concluded.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is now available for Xbox One exclusively. You can find our review in progress, which addresses the single-player offerings, here. We're waiting for the multiplayer issues to be fixed before we jump into that.
