Halo is undoubtedly the biggest Microsoft exclusive series. 343 Industries is working on bug fixes and playtesting Halo Infinite. The most recent ‘Inside Infinite’ released on January 28, 2021, and it featured information on new guns and optimization for all devices.
343 Industries wants to release the beta and full game later this year. Many wrinkles must be ironed out before the full release, as the studio’s executive Quinn DelHoyo explained, “We have everyone fixing bugs on our launch content and some exciting efforts kicking off for future updates like-new vehicles, equipment, etc, we’re pretty much playtesting a ton and looking for ways to polish and improve everything.
“All of our launch content is in-game and being played daily, but it takes a strong effort to get something from 90% to a full 100% ship quality.”

Halo Infinite’s release did not go to plan. Following the reveal, 343 received a lot of criticism about the game’s graphics. Subsequently, the studio was forced to delaye the release to 2021. 343 tried to justify this by saying that the game was still “very much in development”. Thegame will now release in Fall 2021.
