Halo Infinite Winter Update adds network co-op, Achievements, Forge

Don't have all the collectible Achievements? Join on me.

The Halo Infinite Winter Update is out now and brings with it network co-op, Forge, new Achievements and more.

Players can either invite friends into their game or join those of others, and progress is shared between all players.

“This allows all progress made in co-op sessions to be applied to each player’s individual save file,” 343 Industries explained.

“Collectibles, such as Data Pads and Skulls, will appear in co-op sessions if any Fireteam members have not collected them in their individual save. Collecting these items in co-op will unlock them for all Fireteam members who had not already collected them. If all players in the session have collected these items, they will not appear or be interactive.”

Campaign mission replay is also available as part of the update, alongside 24 new Achievements.

“While some of these new Achievements can only be earned in Campaign Co-Op, many can also be earned while playing solo,” 343 continued.

Finally, Forge has been added in a beta state, “meaning that additional improvements are planned. The Forge Beta will support canvas maps and not developer-made maps,” 343 advised. “Support for developer-made maps will be implemented in a future update.”

Microsoft Studios ‘ Matt Booty recently described Halo Infinite‘s launch as a stumble across the finish line; we agreed as part of a recently revised review.

Halo Infinite is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X; it’s also part of Xbox and PC Game Pass.
