Halo Infinite’s technical preview test went live on July 29th and will run till 2nd August, prior to its release on holiday 2021.

Halo Infinite, the flagship title of Xbox and the eighth mainline entry of the legendary franchise, was originally planned to be released in 2020, with the launch of the Xbox Series X|S. However, due to the fan backlash over unimpressive visuals, the game was delayed a full year.

Halo Infinite is without question one of the most anticipated video games of 2021. The campaign continues with story cliffhangers from the Halo 5 Guardian, but unlike Guardian, it brings Master Chief to the forefront.

As for the Multiplayer, Halo Infinite’s Multiplayer is going to be free to play with a sensible monetization of cosmetic content and never expiring battle passes. The game will also be released on the same day and date on PC through Steam and Xbox store, and it will be available on Game Pass from day 1.


How is Halo Infinite Technical Preview?

The first Halo Infinite Technical Preview is taking place between July 29th and August 2nd. It is available to selected players who have signed up for the flight. The technical preview includes a vertical slice of multiplayer gameplay, the academy mode to test out each weapon, an armory to customize the spartan, and a season 0 battle pass.

The response from the fans is extremely important to the 343 industry and Xbox, as Halo games are known to change drastically between flights and launch based on the community feedback.

Speaking of fan response and community feedback,

Several fans were quick to point out how good the game looks on all systems, including the base Xbox One.

However, it seems like even though the performance is stable, it’s not getting the high FPS fans hoped for. But rest assured, as there is still time for optimization.

Based on the reaction, one thing is for certain, Halo Infinite is going to be one of the best Halo games yet.
