Halo Infinite beta release delayed as Microsoft tackles server issues - Windows Central

Update July 29 (7:15 p.m. ET): Ongoing Halo Infinite server issues continue to impact the rollout, with 343 Industries community director, Brian Jarrard, stating the release is expected to push several hours behind schedule.

The first Halo Infinite technical preview is slated for an imminent launch, with an invite-only multiplayer test scheduled through August 1.

While the studio has kept the Halo Infinite beta start time intentionally vague, server issues have now seemingly put its rollout on hold.

The Halo Infinite beta test aims to deliver a sample of its online experience, with three multiplayer maps on the docket, dedicated shooting-range style "weapon drills," and ancillary systems like a small-scale battle pass beta.

With the Halo Infinite beta still yet to go live, 343 Industries community director, Brian Jarrard, has provided additional context around the approach to the rollout.

"As we are all eager and increasingly impatient, just a friendly PSA this is a technical test at a scale unlike anything we've done to date," Jarrard stated on Twitter.

343 Industries community director, Brian Jarrard, has issued further updates on the Halo Infinite technical preview rollout.

"We are proceeding with a full global server re-deploy as part of this fix, which will take time," Jarrard stated in a follow-up tweet.
