If you have Xbox or PC, you\u2019ll have live access to the Halo Infinite beta<\/strong>. You can also play it on Xbox Cloud Gaming if you have an account. You\u2019ll need to download and install it before you can obtain any of the content, but it\u2019s free of charge.

How to play Halo Infinite: beginner tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you choose to play on Steam<\/a>, Xbox, or Xbox Games Pass<\/a>, you\u2019ll have free access to the Halo Infinite beta. However, you\u2019ll need some tips if this is your first journey into the Halo universe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn the different weapons quickly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll notice how many guns you\u2019ll have to work through when you spend enough time on Halo Infinite beta. It can be easy just to shoot your way through your opponents, or vice versa, without paying attention to your firearms or gadgets. However, you stand a better chance of winning if you apply the right weapon in every situation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, there are grapple hooks you can use to reach areas quickly<\/strong>. There\u2019s also the Repulsor, which explodes against any surface for when you find yourself in a tight spot. You can also use it to blast a vehicle into someone\u2019s virtual face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay attention to the map layout<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many gamers have already started the Halo Infinite beta, so they\u2019ll already know their ways around the modes and maps<\/strong>. If you\u2019re starting out, ignore the initial deaths so that you can work out what the lay of the land is. As soon as you become familiar with it, you\u2019ll have better matches with more kills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimize your graphics settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re playing Halo Infinite beta on your PC, you\u2019re better off customizing the graphic quality. Some apps related to your graphics card can set it up for you automatically, such as GeForce<\/a> for NVIDIA computers. Spend some time tweaking the settings for the optimal experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put as much gaming time aside as you can<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Halo Infinite Battle Pass is set to have 100 tiers, which means you\u2019ll need plenty of gaming time<\/strong> to unlock new content. There\u2019s no indication of how long the first season will be, but it\u2019s best to rack up as many points as you can during the beta for practice. By the time the first tiers arrive, you\u2019ll be ready for the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
