What to Expect from the Infinite Beta of Halo Infinite

The latest version of Halo Infinite will feature new story modes and an infinite beta arena experience. The initial release comes with a list of known issues, including some stuttering first-person animations when playing at 60 FPS or higher, and Ranked Arena matches not counting towards your rank as they should. However, the final closed beta for Torchlight: Infinite is kicking off today and running through September 18th.

In terms of game modes, players can expect a mix of traditional Slayer deathmatch and objective modes across both playlists, including Capture The Flag and Strongholds. There are ten maps in total, seven for Quickplay and three for Big Team Battle. Players will also get to test out various customization options, UI functionality, and the very first battle pass.

At the firing range, players can test out a variety of guns in weaponry drills, including the MAR0 AR, BR75, MK50 Sidekick, CQS48, Bulldog Needler, and many more. The Halo Infinite beta will allow players to play all launch maps and modes in two primary playlists: Quickplay for small, 4 vs 4, arena modes, and Big Team Battle for chaotic modes on large maps with plenty of vehicles.

The first Halo Infinite technical preview is essentially a PvE experience where players team up with others to take down AI opponents. Armor customization options were also available during the Infinite Beta. With the beta now live, it's just a waiting game until the October release. Players can sign up for the Halo Insider program to participate in future betas and get exclusive access to early gameplay.
