While there was a rumour that we may also get a Halo Infinite campaign demo today, that has turned out not to be the case. When the game leaves beta on the 8th of December, all of your progress will carry forward, so you can start playing without worrying about starting over from scratch. With Halo Infinite Multiplayer launching today, players will get access to Season 1 Battle Pass content immediately. Better yet, there are no other restrictions, like needing a Game Pass subscription and on PC, you can dive straight in on your platform of choice, whether its the Windows Store or Steam. Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC gamers can now download and install Halo Infinite's multiplayer free of charge. The multiplayer is technically in beta, but it is a fully open beta, with all content unlocked and available across all platforms.
Once it’s out though, it’s out! And it’s pretty good!įind out when #HaloInfinite releases in your region: many rumours over the weekend, today during the Xbox 20th Anniversary stream, 343 Industries announced that it is indeed launching Halo Infinite Multiplayer today. There’s a full breakdown here from the Halo support team. When you do download it, the file size will vary depending on whether or not you have multiplayer installed already or not. Microsoft is also seemingly getting away from the “swap your Xbox system to New Zealand to play it early” trick. We knew about this unlock time since roughly November 19, but there is no way to even pre-load the game. It’s not ideal, especially when it comes to the release of one of the biggest games of the year, and the current generation at that. Since ‘ Halo Infinite‘ is the base-game executable and is already available for download, there’s no simple way for us to ‘time gate’ some parts of the build (campaign) and not others.” However, there are technical limitations. “I understand the confusion and in an ideal world, we would have enabled pre-load. I hope no one took off work! Folks who picked the game up via a retailer at a classic midnight launch were met with dismay as they popped the disc in and were told to finish downloading the game…at launch.ĭoing a bit of digging, I found this response from 343’s Philosohraptors that explains the situation: The company actually put out a detailed map of when it unlocks in each region, with the UK notably not able to play it until 6PM GMT. Just in case you’re trying to log into the game right now, here’s a quick rundown of what’s happening.Ĭonfirmed by 343 Industries, Halo Infinite actually isn’t out until 1PM ET. That means even if you own the disc now legally via a retailer, you can’t play until then. Halo Infinite unlocks at 1PM ET on December 8 (that’s today!).
