Starting Friday, October 1 through Sunday, October 3, anyone with access to the Xbox Insider Hub app can check out Halo Infinite’s tech preview for free. You’ll have to download the app if you don’t already have it on your system. The tech preview for the multiplayer is available to pre-download now via the app. Here are the instructions to download the app and get started, taken from the Xbox Support website:

You should then be able to install this version of Halo Infinite. From there you can freely participate in the tech preview this weekend.
First impressions from the multiplayer’s preview sound promising so far, with the gameplay hearkening back to the glory days of Halo 3. After Halo Infinite’s release getting pushed back, and the ridicule Microsoft and 343 Industries received over early screenshots, this game could use some good momentum heading into the new release date.
Halo Infinite releases December 3, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Xbox Game Pass.
