Halo Infinite will look and play better on the next-gen systems, but its great to see that current Xbox One owners won't be forced to upgrade when the new title is released later this year.

Release Date

As of right now, no official release date has been given.

However, we expect it to be around November 2021, one year after its original release date.

Game Pass

Like all first and second party Xbox games, Halo Infinite will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one.

This means that players will be able to play the game as part of their monthly subscription, rather than having to pay $70 for a copy.

Multiplayer

It has been confirmed that Halo Infinite's multiplayer will be completely free to play, with the purchase of the game just being for the campaign, if you're not using Games Pass.

This adds huge accessibility to the game and will give every Xbox and PC owner a chance to play the new Halo game at launch.

Recently, after player backlash, Microsoft cancelled their plans to increase the price of Xbox Live, and also removed the requirement for Xbox Live to play free-to-play multiplayer titles.

This means that players will be able to play Halo Infinite's multiplayer without an Xbox Live subscription.
