343's latest installment in the Halo franchise is less than a month away. Seemingly out of nowhere, a multiplayer beta has become available for PC and Steam, along with Xbox Series X|S consoles, leading up to its release in December. There were some initial issues the app was having with a blue screen and an update was issued to remove the bugs. 

“Unfrigginbelievable!”​

"To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the franchise, Halo Infinite’s multiplayer beta is available now and free to play on Xbox and PC. Begin your personal Spartan journey today with Season 1, “Heroes of Reach”, and stay tuned for upcoming, limited-time in-game events and exclusive rewards"

Perhaps a move to see if there are any technical setbacks that need to be addressed ahead of its release date, players should be able to hop into Quick Matches with little to no problems after restarting their consoles or relaunching the Xbox App.

Halo Infinite and its single player content and campaign will be available December 8th 2021.
