Halo Infinite will have multiple betas, first on Xbox

Halo Infinite will feature multiple betas, called “flighting programs” and first appearing on Xbox.

Developer 343 Industries made the confirmation as part of a lengthy post about Halo Infinite, Halo 5: Guardians and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. In it, it was confirmed that Infinite would feature flighting programs, called, “opt-in flights [that] will start small and slowly expand out until release.”

343 confirmed that flighting programs “may come a little bit later for PC players, but we’re treating it as a first-class citizen.”

Alongside the news of betas was a confirmation that Halo Infinite would feature customisation options that would please Halo: Reach fans, and that those who reach rank SR 152 in Halo 5: Guardians “will receive a token of appreciation in Halo Infinite.”

Halo Infinite has been confirmed for a holiday 2020 release on Windows PC and Project Scarlett, Xbox’s next-gen console. It’s unclear if the title will be available on Xbox One.

Correction: We mistakenly wrote “Xbox One” in the original title of this post. At present, it’s not been confirmed Halo Infinite will be available on Microsoft’s current-gen console.
