Certainly, Halo Infinite It went through many difficulties before and after its release. Despite building plenty of bona fides with the surprise launch of its multiplayer mode in late 2021, it struggled in the months to come to consistently deliver substantial content. Although thousands of players stayed and supported the project, many others simply stopped playing.
Online multiplayer mode Halo Infinite debuted as free-to-play on September 15, 2021. At the time, it generated a lot of hype and achieved an impressive peak of 272,586 concurrent users on Steam. Also, it got very good ratings from the fans.
