Those who choose PC will be considered for early access to in-development Halo games, meaning all of the games that Microsoft now working to port to the PC as part of the Halo: The Master Chief Collection package. This includes Halo: Reach, Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST (Campaign), and Halo 4. It’s not clear now if other Halo titles, like Halo 5: Guardians, will be ported to the PC at some point as well.
