It’s time to finish the strike as functional bowling is now playable in Halo Infinite. Found inside a brand-new Forge Map, the iconic sport is now playable with Xbox’s underrated free-to-play game. Bowling: the best game since Grifball.
Play bowling in Halo
A new Forge Map in Halo Infinite boldly adapts the modern sport of bowling into Halo’s multiplayer. Available to bookmark here, the new map can be played on PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series alone or with friends.
Alongside the recreation of the sport itself, the map takes place in a full bowling alley. There’s a dining area, a gift shop and, of course, the sweet rows of bowling lanes to slide a fast one down.
By navigating to the screens at the end of each row, you can start a game of bowling. Afterwards, you can simply pick up a ball—which is technically the in-game bomb—and launch is down the line. After your two throws, the skittles reset and more balls pop out for you to use.
It’s an incredibly fun use of Halo Infinite’s impressive suite of Forge tools, and one that shows the infinite (pun intended) freedom available with the brilliant map maker. While it may not be as easy to use as Fortnite creative map tools, the map maker is a brilliant addition.
2010 is calling
Alongside being awesome in its own right, Halo Infinite bowling is reminiscent of the dumb fun of Forge in Halo Reach. From the perils of Jenga to rushing down miles-long ramps at light speed, Halo’s Forge has always resulted in top-tier laughs.
While Infinite isn’t as popular as the Halos of old, this is proof it’s still got the sauce. 343 (sorry, Halo Studios) has done well to keep the spirit of Xbox’s flagship alive, for those who care to give it a go.
