The Halo Infinite Winter Update will be available on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. Based on previous updates to the game, we estimate it has the following release dates:

• UK: 7 p.m. (GMT)
• Europe: 8pm (CET)
• US East Coast: 2pm (EST)
• United States West Coast: 11 a.m. (PST)

This is backed up by the official support account stating that this week’s challenges will end at 10am PT with the clock change – suggesting it will start from the usual weekly reset time:

Based on the Season 2 update, developer 343 Industries said the servers will be offline for one hour from the start of downtime – and we imagine the same will be true here.

Anyway, for those in Europe, you have to wait until evening before you can start downloading and playing.

As with all live service games, expect the possibility of delays or downtime taking longer than expected.

What’s in the Halo Infinite Winter update?

The ‘winter update’ is a stopgap while waiting for the delayed Season 3 and is by far the biggest since the launch of Halo Infinite, with every mode in the game receiving long-awaited additions and changes.

Highlights include:

• The long-awaited arrival of countryside cooperative – you can watch a preview thanks to the beta initiated thanks to Digital Foundry:

• To forge – Halo’s Map Creation Mode – will launch in beta, but with “tremendous features” at launch that will “continue to improve and evolve over time”. This is basically a soft launch, and while there are no in-game tutorials, there is an official Forge Fundamentals series that you can start perusing right now:

• A free Battle Pass with 30 Tierslargely inspired by Halo: Reach cosmetics:

• New multiplayer maps Argyle and Detachment, both of which were built entirely in the new Forge mode.

• Covert One Flag multiplayer modea variant of One Flag CTF that sees one side of attackers armed with Active Camo and defenders with threat sensors, all with the goal of grabbing a single flag.

• The added bonus XP in matchrewarding players based on their performance – such as being on the winning team and being one of the best players – as well as the current end-game and challenge reward systems.

• The ultimate challenge Will now only require 10 challenges per week – and has been changed to be completed in any playlist, not just specific modes.
• The return of the “most popular” Ultimate Rewards from previous seasons during the winter update period for those who missed them.
• Introduction of rotation of playlists, with a “main” playlist slot (starting with Covert One Flag) and a “social” playlist slot (more experimental or casual modes, basically – such as Social Slayer and Rumble Pit) alternately updated every two weeks – which means there will be a new playlist every week. The schedule is as follows:

• Various sandbox weapon adjustments – including increased Plasma Pistol damage, Pulse Rifle and VK78 Commando effectiveness at close range, nerf to BR and more; full details can be viewed on the official Waypoint website.

Phew – that’s a lot! Whatever interests you, enjoy the winter update!
