The Halo Support officially confirmed the details through their social media. According to their latest post, the Halo Infinite patch update is arriving on October 26, Thursday, which is in hours.

The post also highlights the major changes and updates that the players can expect with the patch’s arrival.

The Armor Hall stability will also be addressed in the new patch. 

Unarguably, Season 5 has brought the classic FPS under the community spotlight again and how! The numbers are outgrowing and the initial response has only fueled the excitement of Halo Infinite enthusiasts.

The unfortunate decline in popularity that Halo Infinite had witnessed after its release accounted for a lot of issues that the players’ beloved could be addressed.
