Here’s how you can be a part of the ongoing Halo infinite beta

Halo Infinite multiplayer beta has started as of yesterday and unlike the previous ones, this one is open to everyone and the aim here is to help developers test the Big Team Battle mode at scale.

If you own an Xbox but don’t have the Xbox Insider Program, then no worries you can play the game. On Xbox it’s as simple as downloading an app, however, on PC things are a bit complicated.

343 has also announced plans to play Halo Infinite with the community, and you can win the special Ice Unicorn emblem.

343 Industries has listed off the download instructions on its website, and it’s a pretty straightforward process to get in. On the Xbox, users need to download the Xbox Insider Hub app from the Store and then join the Halo Infinite preview.

coming to PC, players not part of the Halo Insider program need to obtain a “friend invite code” to take part in this weekend’s test. If you secure a code then you can redeem it on the Halo Waypoint website, and receive a message containing a code and installation instructions.
