The Halo Infinite beta – or 'technical preview flighting', if you prefer Microsoft's somewhat silly nomenclature – is coming, and soon. Several rounds of testing are planned ahead of launch, and the devs at 343 have provided some initial details about what the first preview will look like. It's going to be focused on battles against bots, and the devs say the "first bot-focused technical preview could happen as soon as next weekend".
The first beta, whether it starts on July 31 or gets pushed further back, will be open to "hundreds of thousands" of players who've signed up via the Insider Program. It will feature a Slayer playlist with bot matches on Bazaar, Recharge, and Live Fire. You'll also be able to get into the Academy training mode to access scored weapon drill challenges.
You'll also get access to a limited selection of battle pass content and unlockable cosmetics, which you'll be able to purchase with a provision of in-game credits. None of those unlocks will carry over into the final game, however.
