Back in August, 343 Industries [https://www.343industries.com/] announced an indefinite delay in the release of the most anticipated Xbox Series X/S exclusive title, Halo Infinite. The developers wanted to deliver the game in its best condition on time; however, the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic severely affected their efficiency. Ever since, fans around the world have been eagerly waiting for a confirmation on the game’s new release window. Even though the developers are yet to make a statement, one of the game’s MoCap actors has spilled the beans. GamingBolt [https://gamingbolt.com/halo-infinite-is-ready-to-go-for-spring-2021-says-master-chief-mocap-actor] recently discovered a Reddit post where Bruce Thomas, the MoCap actor for Master Chief, talked about the game’s current condition: ALSO READ- This Fan-Made Custom Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox Series X Looks Like Its Straight Out of Night City [https://www.essentiallysports.com/this-fan-made-custom-cyberpunk-2077-xbox-series-x-looks-like-its-straight-out-of-night-city/] Apart from his role in Halo Infinite, Bruce Thomas played Russel Addler in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. He was part of a live chat on Dan Allen Gaming, where he primarily talked about Call of Duty’s latest title. However, the conversation soon shifted towards Halo Infinite’s release date. When asked about wrapping up the game, Bruce answered, “I believe, unless we’re gonna try to do some more.” He also added, “But yeah, as far as I know it’s in the can. Ready to go for next spring.” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/153028-games-news-halo-infinite-release-date-and-everything-you-need-to-know-image1-v1lu2as8gj.jpg] HALO INFINITE COULD SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCE XBOX SERIES X/S SALES Particularly in UK and Japan, Sony’s PlayStation 5 has been substantially ahead [https://www.essentiallysports.com/playstation-5-sales-in-the-uk-leave-xbox-series-x-s-in-the-dust-news-esports/]of Xbox Series X/S in sales. Even though both the latest consoles match each other in terms of specifications, the Series X/S lag in exclusive titles. Halo Infinite was the only attractive exclusive title for the launch of Microsoft’s consoles. On the flip side, the PlayStation 5 offered Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Demon’s Souls on release. Having said that, the recent developments hint towards a better future for both Halo Infinite and the Xbox Series X/S. If Bruce Thomas’ claims are true, the game is really close to going ‘gold’. Microsoft has also acquired [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bethesda-to-be-a-part-of-xbox-game-studios-as-microsoft-finalises-7-5bn-deal-news-esports/] Zenimax, and it is clear that the company is finally brushing up its exclusive titles list.

<h2>Halo Infinite 2021: Release Date, Multiplayer, Gameplay, and Price</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-262911" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200506000837/Halo.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Halo Infinite is the latest addition to the Halo franchise. Infinite is the fourteenth overall Halo title developed by 343 Studios and the sixth edition of the main Halo series.

The developers first revealed the game at E3 2018 with an initial trailer. The trailer carried forward the story from Halo 5: Guardians which will continue the story of the Master Chief.

Just like other Halo titles, Infinite will also be a Microsoft exclusive. Therefore, it will be available exclusively on Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and the new-gen Xbox Series S|X.
<h2>Halo Infinite budget and release date</h2>
343 Studio had initially announced the release date for the latest Halo title as November 2020. There are rumors that Infinite has put the biggest dent in 343 Studio's treasury by far as compared to all other Halo titles. The game allegedly cost the developers $500 million to make.

Initially, the game was to launch alongside the new-gen Xbox consoles. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the date had to be pushed indefinitely.

At E3 2021, Microsoft affirmed a Holiday 2021 release timeline for Halo Infinite. Complete with a single-player campaign and free multiplayer, the game will launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC.

During Xbox's 20th Anniversary celebrations on November 15, 2021, 343 pulled off a stunning move by releasing a beta version of the game's multiplayer mode to the public. The final release date for the game was confirmed as December 8, 2021.
<h2>Halo Infinite price</h2>
The disc version of the game for the Xbox Series X is listed on Amazon US for $59.99. The price for the Halo Infinite PC is also expected to be similar. Moreover, the game will also be a part of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The multiplayer co-op mode of the game will be available free of cost, but the campaign mode will be paid.
<h2>Halo Infinite download and gameplay</h2>
343 Studio revealed the initial gameplay footage of the game during the Showcase Xbox Series X July event. The campaign mode of the game has an open-world setting.

The open-world setting will work through a backtracking mechanism where players can unlock new areas as they progress. Once they have these areas, they will always have to explore as much of the map as they have unlocked.

The story of the game is a continuation of Halo 5: Guardians. While there is still a lot of ambiguity over Infinite's story, there are a few things that fans know.

Firstly, the story will take place on the Zeta Halo, which is one of the remaining Halo rings. More information from the E3 2019 trailer shows a stranded pelican pilot rescuing the Master Chief. These are the prominent characters of the storyline who discuss a past battle that destroyed one of the Halo Rings.

The battle was against the 'Banished Faction' that initially appeared in the spinoff Halo Wars 2. The Banished are most likely to be the antagonist of this story as well.

The local campaign co-op of Infinite in a two-player mode will once again feature a split-screen mode.

The developers had removed this popular mode in the previous game. However, they faced a lot of backlash due to this decision and have therefore decided to re-introduce the mode in the latest edition.
<h2>Halo Infinite multiplayer</h2>
During the Xbox &amp; Bethesda showcase at E3 2021, 343 Industries provided a deep dive into the game's PvP aspect with an elaborate multiplayer gameplay reveal. The most exciting revelation was perhaps that Halo Infinite's multiplayer will be free-to-play.

There will be two multiplayer modes including Arena and Big Team Battle. While the first mode will feature 4-player squads, the latter suits sandbox-style gameplay with more combat possibilities. Players will get to create and configure their own Spartan hero, thanks to the comprehensive customization system.

Armors, weapons, vehicles, everything will have a variety of customization options, but it will primarily aid the cosmetic appeal. Equipment is making a return with Halo Infinite, and the grappling hook is one such thing. The developers have added a new Razorback vehicle, which can mount larger pieces of equipment and weapons on its rear.

Besides, the free multiplayer mode will include a battle pass which will never expire once purchased. Cross-platform play and cross-progression will also be two other features that Halo Infinite will launch with. Microsoft has also confirmed that the game's multiplayer will support up to 120 FPS on Xbox Series X.

Xbox Series S is the next-gen console by Microsoft that is a scaled-down version of the Xbox Series X. It is Xbox's smallest console yet and is almost 60% smaller than the Series X.

So far, only a white version of the console is shown but it has all the next-gen capabilities. The console may not be as powerful as the Series X but can run all the next-gen games seamlessly.

While the Series S is comparable in basic hardware to Series X, it lacks the Ultra HD Blu-ray optical drive, the raw processing power, and some specs of the high-end variant. The other difference between both of Microsoft’s next-gen consoles is the price point.

<h2>Xbox Series X Expandable Storage</h2>
The Series X console is compatible with a standard standalone hard drive, and it supports products with the Designed for Xbox badge. It will allow players to have had additional storage options apart from the custom NVM Express SSD.

For the best experience, the proprietary 1TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Series X plugs into the console's back via the dedicated storage expansion port and replicates the console’s custom SSD experience, providing additional game storage at the same performance.

A 2 TB version for Seagate Storage Expansion Card is planned later. Series X is also built with support for USB 3.1 external HDD. Both the options for expandable storage will be sold separately. These standalone products are not included in the console bundle.
<h2>Xbox Series X Accessories</h2>
Microsoft's next-gen console will ship with an updated version of the Xbox Wireless Controller, Ultra High-Speed HDMI cable, and power cord. Users can add standalone purchases of Xbox Game Pass and the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for the Series X console for the complete experience.
<h2>Xbox Series X Backwards Compatibility</h2>
Microsoft has stated that Series X is backward compatible with thousands of games across four generations of the Xbox console family. The next-gen console will support all games playable on Xbox One, excluding those requiring the Kinect sensor.

It includes all those Xbox 360 and original Xbox console games currently supported through backward compatibility on the Xbox One console.

Moreover, with the Smart Delivery program, you buy a game once and get the best version of that game for the console you’re playing on.

To play a backward-compatible game, insert the disc or search your library and select the game you want to play.
<h2>Xbox Series X Release Date</h2>
Microsoft has announced that the release date for Xbox Series X at participating retailers worldwide is November 10, 2020.

It will allow players to have had additional storage options apart from the custom NVM Express SSD. For the best experience, the proprietary 1TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Series X plugs into the console&#8217;s back via the dedicated storage expansion port and replicates the console’s custom SSD experience, providing additional game storage at the same performance. A 2 TB version for Seagate Storage Expansion Card is planned later. Series X is also built with support for USB 3.1 external HDD. Both the options for expandable storage will be sold separately. These standalone products are not included in the console bundle. Xbox Series X Accessories Microsoft&#8217;s next-gen console will ship with an updated version of the Xbox Wireless Controller, Ultra High-Speed HDMI cable, and power cord. Users can add standalone purchases of Xbox Game Pass and the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for the Series X console for the complete experience. Xbox Series X Backwards Compatibility Microsoft has stated that Series X is backward compatible with thousands of games across four generations of the Xbox console family. The next-gen console will support all games playable on Xbox One, excluding those requiring the Kinect sensor. It includes all those Xbox 360 and original Xbox console games currently supported through backward compatibility on the Xbox One console. Moreover, with the Smart Delivery program, you buy a game once and get the best version of that game for the console you’re playing on. To play a backward-compatible game, insert the disc or search your library and select the game you want to play. Xbox Series X Release Date Microsoft has announced that the release date for Xbox Series X at participating retailers worldwide is November 10, 2020.
