Halo Infinite Multiplayer is a free game, confirms 343

After a leak, 343 Industries has confirmed that Halo Infinite’s multiplayer will be free and will support 120 fps on Xbox Series X. Halo’s Twitter shared the news, saying “Halo is for everyone. We can confirm that #HaloInfinite’s multiplayer mode it will be free-to-play and will support 120FPS on Xbox Series X. More details will be shared later! “

Earlier today, Smyths Toys leaked the news on its Xbox Series X listing, highlighting free news, 120 FPS, and “greatly reduced load times.”

While we still have a lot more to learn about Halo Infinite’s multiplayer, we learned a lot more about its campaign on the Xbox Games Showcase, where 343 confirmed that it will run at 60 blocked FPS.

Halo Infinite will also be more a platform than a standalone entry, and this move to the free game only reinforces that this will be Halo for the foreseeable future.

343 Industries’ confirmation of the free future of Halo Infinite follows their open discussion on the community’s mixed response on the latest Halo graphics and visual styling, a possible multiplayer beta, and microtransactions.

Halo Infinite will launch alongside Xbox Series X at Holiday 2020, but will also be available for PC and Xbox One.
