Halo Infinite release date, time, and preload size for all regions

The much anticipated Halo Infinite is almost here. The latest iteration of the decades-old iconic first-person shooter franchise is shaping up to be one of the best games of 2021.

Developed by 343 Industries, Halo Infinite is the third mainline entry in the reclaimer saga, building upon the threads left hanging by Halo 5 Guardians while simultaneously opening up doors for new stories.

While the free-to-play multiplayer was launched early during the Xbox and Halo 20th anniversary celebrations to great reviews, including Sportskeeda, the campaign mode is set to launch on December 8.
