Halo, the legendary first-person shooter series that started on Xbox, finally makes its comeback this year with <\/span>Halo Infinite<\/b>. Play as Master Chief through a new single-player campaign, or dive into the free-to-play multiplayer with your own unique setup.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s about 160 days after humanity lost the war. 343 Industries calls Halo Infinite a “spiritual reboot” of the series that should appeal to newcomers and long-time fans alike. This most expansive campaign yet immerses players in the world and introduces the story behind the popular franchise. At the same time, the multiplayer arena-style combat and sandbox team battles quickly teach beginners what it means to play Halo. <\/span><\/p>\n

So where to start? Here’s what you need to know about Halo Infinite.<\/span><\/p>\n

Halo Infinite is set for a <\/span>holiday release<\/b>, which is just a fancy way of saying that it’s coming in either November or December with no exact release date. <\/span><\/p>\n

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer recently discussed Halo Infinite’s mysterious release window on Dropped Frames, a podcast about the video games industry. According to <\/span>Video Game Chronicle<\/span><\/a>, the release date might depend on when competitors release their games to avoid clashes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Halo Infinite was supposed to release with the Xbox Series X|S in 2020. However,<\/span> 343 Industries pushed back the original release date<\/span><\/a> by a year after the lukewarm response from fans. The studio later planned for a fall 2021 release, which then quietly slipped back to “holiday release.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Halo Infinite crossplay<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Halo Infinite supports<\/span> crossplay<\/b> between PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One<\/span><\/a>. Like with every other Halo game, Halo Infinite is Microsoft or bust. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to crossplay, Microsoft highlighted that <\/span>cross-progression<\/b> allows players to carry progress from PC to Xbox and vice versa. Cross-progression works like playing the same game across different platforms. Save files, inventory, and other player-specific data should seamlessly exist across platforms without any hassle. <\/span><\/p>\n

Halo Infinite beta test<\/b><\/h2>\n

There’s no date for the beta test yet. However, community director Brian Jarrard has made it clear that they want as many beta testers as possible. Anyone can sign up to test the beta for free. All you need to do is create a<\/span> Halo Insider<\/span><\/a> account, which means joining 343 Industries’ official program for soliciting feedback from volunteer testers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Halo Infinite pre-orders<\/b><\/h2>\n

Halo Infinite pre-orders are live. Beware of fake release dates like December 31 — those are just placeholders. They also represent the latest the game could come out, supposing that the team keeps its promise to release in holiday 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n
