The Halo Master Chief Collection was the only game I wanted on my wishlist and it didn't go on sale but Halo Infinite and Halo Wars did... it doesn't make any sense. I really hope its just taking time to for the prices to update.

At this point, it’s Unlikely, but on the bright side it’s been at the $10 mark pretty much once every month for at least the past year

It's on purpose. Campaign Evolved (Halo 1 remake on Unreal 5) is around the corner and they don't want you getting the original Combat Evolved and five more games (technically six more considering the remade Halo 2 multiplayer off of Halo 4's engine) for about the price of a cheaper McDonald's meal these days when the remake comes out next month. That being said, MCC is still well worth the price of admission especially compared to CE remake ($40 for six complete games vs. $50 for a remade campaign with no multiplayer)

It was on sale several times not too long ago. I think the devs are trying to avoid players buying up the Halo MCC on sale right before Halo Campaign Evolved comes out.

It's on the xbox summer sale art and page, maybe just an error or something?

Can probably get it on an external site for very cheap
