Following server issues that delayed its launch, the first official Halo Infinite beta test (officially called a “technical preview” by 343 Industries) has gone live on Xbox and PC platforms. Halo Insiders should check their email and Halo Waypoint notifications to see if they were invited to participate in the flight, and if so, they should follow 343 Industries’ instructions on how to download, install, and launch the Halo Infinite build being tested. The technical preview is slated to run from now until Sunday, August 1.
In terms of what content is available for players to test, players will be able to play together against AI bots in 4v4 Arena matches, test out weapon drills in the Academy training mode, and engage with a version of Halo Infinite’s battle pass that’s exclusive to the test and won’t carry over to the full game. Players will also be able to test out and get a feel for the game’s interface.

Halo Infinite is expected to launch on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 (and Windows 11) PCs during the Holiday 2021 season, and may specifically launch in November based on a possible leak in a donut ad. The campaign most likely costs $60, but the multiplayer will be completely free-to-play.
