343 Industries has confirmed that Halo Infinite will have a free-to-play multiplayer mode.
Speculation swirled when a listing from British and Irish retailer Smyths stated: “The legendary Halo series returns with the most expansive Master Chief campaign yet and a groundbreaking free-to-play multiplayer experience.” The listing for Halo Infinite disappeared, and then the developer did confirm that this was the case in its own Tweet.

It will also achieve 120 frames per second on the Xbox Series X, which is good. Cool, even. 343 Industries mentioned that it is “not quite where we expected to be in terms of broader public flighting,” and as a result, a Halo Infinite beta might not be on its way for a while. “The team is still working and assessing options for broader hands-on opportunities before launch and we’ll share an update when we can,” it explained.
Halo Infinite will be released for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X in holiday 2020.
