How do I report players in Halo: The Master Chief Collection on PC?

Question

I came across an abusive player in Halo: Reach (PC) that was calling people racist slurs. I've already muted them by opening the scoreboard Tab and selecting their name, but I couldn't find any way to report them.

How do I report abusive players in Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Steam?

Answer 1

On Windows 10, you can report recent players through the Xbox Console Companion app.¹

To report a player that behaved in an inappropriate way or has an inappropriate name or Gamertag:

1. Navigate to the Friends menu. If the player is not a friend, select Followers or Recent players from the drop-down menu to bring up the relevant list. You can also search for the player by typing their Gamertag into the search bar.
2. Select the Gamertag you wish to report.
3. Select More, and then select Report.
4. Select a reason for the report.
5. Provide any additional information in the text box, and then select Report to Xbox.

Answer 2

It appears that there is not an in-game report function. I find it surprising that a game of this magnitude lacks such a crucial feature.

Your best option, in this case, is to view their Xbox Live/Microsoft profile and report them there.
