===''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''===
In the launch version of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the Katana could only used as part of the full HAYABUSA set due to the restricted armor customisation seen in the ''Halo 3'' component of the game. As of the release of ''Halo 3'' for PC in [[2020]], this restriction is no longer in place, and the Katana chest can be used alongside any choice of helmet and shoulders. The Katana, like all ''Halo 3'' armor, is unlocked immediately upon launching ''The Master Chief Collection''.
 
A red HAYABUSA-clad Spartan employing the Katana is available as an unlockable [[Avatars|Avatar]] in ''The Master Chief Collection''. The avatar can be unlocked by winning 10 multiplayer games and earning the [[List of Achievements for Halo: The Master Chief Collection|achievement]] [[Tempered Blade]].
