Halo Infinite is available since November 15, 2021 for its multiplayer component. After blowing hot, but especially cold, the fault of content that was too light for players, the studio announced the arrival of season 2 for the beginning of May. This weekend, the 343 Industries teams came back at length to the strengths and weaknesses of the game reported by the players.

Some of its changes will be in place at the start of Season Two, but no clear indication has yet been made. The 343 Industries teams have also indicated that an upcoming blog post will discuss topics that have had the community talking a lot: Spartan customization, the store, the Battle Pass, the progression system, events, cinema mode and spectator.
Halo Infinite is available on Xbox and PC on the Microsoft Store. As a reminder, the 5th season of the Fracture Tenrai is ongoing until Tuesday.
