Halo Infinite
The multiplayer mode for Halo Infinite was only live for a few hours, but it has crossed the limit of records for an Xbox Game Studios title on Steam. If you are wondering whether Halo Infinite’s multiplayer mode is correctly available or not, then you should run for it before it’s out.

The multiplayer mode of Halo Infinite is now available on PC and Xbox Game Pass as part of the 20th-anniversary celebrations for the series. Not just this, but it is available for the Xbox line of consoles. The multiplayer mode of Halo Infinite is available as free-to-play. But the full version of the game will be released on December 8, and it will include the single-player campaign mode.

In addition, Halo Infinite is not getting a co-op campaign, including the cancellation of Forge mode at launch. However, according to the reports, they are expected to be added later. Halo Infinite launch has been delayed, which pushed it out of the launch window of the Xbox Series X and S. Given the situation, it’s most likely that the devs are focusing on the two most important factors of the game to make sure it hits ...
... the holiday 2021 launch date.

It seems like Microsoft might have expected the abrupt Halo Infinite multiplayer drop, which would have taken the gaming world by storm. But unfortunately, the news was leaked early. Let’s look at the bright side; the leaks caused the commotion, and users ran to their devices during the 20th anniversary Xbox show. While they were waiting for the official announcement, surprises came like Christmas.

Halo Infinite crossed the concurrent player number for an Xbox Game Studios title
The leaked event caused an unusual number of people to try their hands on the multiplayer content immediately at the launch. According to the reports, Daniel Ahmad on Twitter stated, Halo Infinite has crossed the simultaneous player number for an Xbox Game Studios title on Steam. So, the leaked event has proven quite beneficial for Halo Infinite users as well as for the company.

Halo Infinite hit the mark of 162k simultaneous users just in three hours of launch, outnumbering the population at the event held by Halo: The Master Chief Collection and the recent launch of Forza Horizon 5. The current data shown have only reflected the players available on Steam. There are a vast number of players on Xbox systems to consider as well, including those who play games on PC without Steam. So, it is somewhat unclear what will be the split number across all platforms.

Given how people are enthusiastic, it seems like it’s been a few days since Halo Infinite was launched. But the news has only hit the button for a few hours. We can see the hype between people that landed on its launch, even though it was meant to be a surprise.

In conclusion, the Halo Infinite release leak might have helped the game at the launch event. Regardless of the leak, the launch news of a new Halo game still holds value for fans who share the FPS genre. And we can also expect Halo Infinite to release the Xbox Series X/S, the must-have holiday title, which was supposed to be released in 2020.
