Though the game does not officially release until December 8, Halo Infinite's open beta attracted a lot of attention after surprise releasing this month. While it was originally meant to be a launch title for Microsoft's Xbox Series X/S, the first gameplay reveal was underwhelming and so widely discussed that developer 343 Industries delayed the project for a full year. Now that everyone is able to try Halo Infinite's free multiplayer for themselves, it's clear the extra work put in was worthwhile.
