The Xbox Series X | S has been out for over a year now, so it’s been a long time since would-be Spartans have waited for Master Chief to return and Halo Infinite to arrive.
The road has been long and full of pitfalls, but the reunion with Microsoft’s helmeted hero is within reach. On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the introduction of the first Xbox of the name, Microsoft wanted to offer a little surprise to the players present on the occasion and announced the immediate availability of the Halo Infinite Multiplayer Beta. Right now there.
Such a long absence
This time around, you don’t have to be a member of any program: all you need is a PC, Xbox One, or Xbox Series X | S (and an internet connection) to download Halo’s Infinite Multiplayer Beta and compete. See for yourself the progress 343 Industries has made since the game was first presented (then moved):
The only exception for the time being is Xbox Cloud Gaming, a deficiency which, according to the manufacturer, will be fixed “very soon”. The others will be able to indulge in the simple joys of deathmatches starting tonight, allowing Microsoft to adjust its final controls appropriately before the December 8th launch:
As we prepare for a significant increase in the number of players entering the Halo Infinite ranks on December 8th, we want to make sure that all of our systems are up and running. Some issues and bugs may occur during this beta, but it marks the official launch of the first season of Halo Infinite.

Plans can change
You will understand: the adventure begins just before the hour for the highly anticipated FPS of the Xbox Game Studios label, if we obviously stick to the new release date. And because the time may have seemed long to some, the manufacturer tries to be forgiven:
We took advantage of this deadline to add additional events, customization items, and other types of content to this first season: Starting today and for the entire first week, you can log into Halo Infinite to unlock a free collection of 20th anniversary cosmetics from the series.
Contrary to the original plans, which included a change of seasons every three months, Season 1 of Halo Infinite will run until May 2022.just to give the 343 Industries teams a chance to review their roadmap, which we think is quite upset.
You will have understood: The Halo Infinite Multiplayer Beta is available now and will be free for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X | starting December 8th, when it launches S offered. So that’s patience?
