Halo Infinite may have Steam Workshop for mods
It seems that Halo Infinite could be getting full Steam Workshop support for players to create mods, if a new screenshot is to be believed.
It seems like 343 Industries’ upcoming Halo Infinite may be getting full Steam Workshop support, allowing players to legally mod the game.
Mods are a big deal for many players as it allows them to customize a game to their heart’s content. Halo Infinite’s default content will probably be solid in its own right, but the addition of Steam Workshop support could be massive.
The official Steam Workshop page is described as: “a central hub of player-created content and tools to publish, organize, and download that content into your games.”
A Reddit user has discovered evidence that Halo Infinite could be given full Steam Workshop support, allowing players to mod the game however they see fit.
Whether it’s changing a character’s clothing or reskinning a weapon, mods can turn a game into something completely different.
So smolgote’s post on the GamingLeaksandRumors page asked a big question about Halo Infinite already, will it have Steam Workshop support?
The user said: “Probably a bug or something on Steam’s end, but it wouldn’t surprise me regardless, since MCC [Master Chief Collection] is getting Workshop support and 343 wants fans to go nuts with mods,” and accompanied this message with an interesting image.
Under the player’s recently viewed games and hubs, one of the options comes up as “Halo Infinite” and says “0 new workshop items this week.”
Halo Infinite is not out until December 8, so there’s every chance that this is just a simple mistake that has appeared whilst the technical flight test is going on.
But there’s every reason to suggest that this is merely the groundwork in place before the full release with one commenter saying: “Not impossible at all with Forge on its way. Not going to count on it but it’s likely with how much Microsoft has been embracing Steam.”
As usual, take this as a rumor for the time being and we’ll wait and see if Halo Infinite gets full Steam Workshop support on release or soon after.

How old is Master Chief in Halo Infinite? John-117 age
Halo Infinite sees the return of the legendary and iconic character, Master Chief, but how old will he be in the next installment?
Halo Infinite is almost here, and although players already know quite a lot about the next installment of the franchise, many are wondering just how old Master Chief is.
Halo Infinite is set to bring the franchise back with a bang, offering players a Campaign mode with a new story and the classic Multiplayer with a fresh take on the battle pass system.
Even those who aren’t fans of the series will know who Master Chief is, the main protagonist of the series.
Many are wondering what his depiction will be like in the new game, and some are even asking how old the iconic character is now.
Master Chief, otherwise known as John-117, is the main protagonist in the Halo franchise. The character is extremely iconic, especially the armor, as Master Chief has become the face of the franchise.

We know Master Chief is returning in Halo Infinite, as well as Cortana, the artificial intelligence that helps the Petty Officer on missions.
Halo Infinite will take place in 2560, so players are wondering just how old Master Chief is now, and whether that will have any effect on the character’s future in the franchise, as rumor has been going around that it could be his last adventure.
How old is Master Chief in Halo Infinite?
The community has worked out that Master Chief is biologically 49 years old in 2560, as he was born in 2511. As many fans will know, John was genetically mutated to become a super-soldier by Dr. Halsey. Players know this gives the character inhumane reflexes and capabilities, but they’re also wondering if this affects his age.
Further, Master Chief can also be found in cryosleep when he isn’t out on a mission, potentially further slowing down the aging process. So, although he is 49 years old, he could be much younger, perhaps by around ten years.
So there you have it, biologically Master Chief is 49 years old, but his genetic mutations and time in cryosleep may have halted the process and have made him younger when it comes to his physical condition.

FIFA 22 Team of the Week: TOTW 6 & featured players
EA have announced another FIFA 22 Team of the Week. We’ve got everything you need to know, as well as the full FIFA 22 TOTW 6 lineup.
It’s time for another FIFA 22 Team of the Week. In FIFA 22 TOTW 6, there are some huge names for people to add to their teams, and the featured player is a former FUT favorite.
Ultimate Team remains the most popular mode in the FIFA series. One of the many reasons for this is incorporating real-world football into its addictive gameplay loop through special cards, such as Icons or the new FUT Heroes.
One of the mode’s oldest special items is the Team of the Week, which offers players a weekly batch of new upgraded cards to help build out their squads. We’ve got everything you need to know about FUT TOTW right here.
We’ll be updating this hub with the latest FIFA 22 TOTW, so be sure to check back here every week.
Team of the Week 6 has reportedly been leaked thanks to Weaver – FUT, and we know the cards that are expected to be revealed on Wednesday.
FIFA 22 FUT TOTW 6
The FIFA 22 TOTW 6 is here, and it’s full of big names from across the world.
Check out the full, rumored squad for the FIFA 22 TOTW 6 here:
What are TOTW cards in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team?
Team of the Week items are special cards that boost stats based on that player’s performance in the previous week of real-world games. Any player awarded an in-form will see both their ratings and in-game stats get a permanent increase.
Every week, EA unveils a 23-man squad of the stars who had the best games in the previous domestic or international fixtures round. They could be awarded for a last-minute winner in a big game or a heroic performance from a goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet.
Each TOTW is available in packs for an entire week until it is replaced by the next squad on the following Wednesday. Player’s can not receive an in-form two weeks in a row.
While the in-form card is in packs, it replaces the base version of that player. The normal card will return to packs when that TOTW is over.
FIFA 22 Ultimate Team Featured TOTW
In FIFA 22, EA has addressed fans’ complaints that TOTW items are often quickly rendered useless by the other promotional cards added to the game throughout the year.
Every week, one player will receive a special Featured TOTW card. These players will receive a larger boost than the rest of the squad in an attempt to make them more desirable to those building their teams.
To qualify for this additional stat-boost, the player must have a base card that is under 80-rated and not have any other performance-based card in packs – such as a Ones to Watch.
When is the TOTW released?
Historically, EA announces the latest TOTW every Wednesday so that any Monday night games can be considered.
No specific time has been set for when the team will be announced. However, so far, they have tended to surface at around 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 4 PM BST.
We’ll update this post with an exact schedule as and when it is available.

How to unlock Planestrider emblem in Destiny 2
To unlock the Planestride emblem in Destiny 2 Season of the Lost, players must obtain the Vanguard ornament for the Season 15 ritual weapon to complete the “Display of Supremacy” weekly challenge.
At the time of writing, the Planestrider emblem is currently unavailable as it only drops during Destiny 2 Season of the Lost Week 10’s challenges.
Bungie introduced weekly challenges during Destiny 2 Season of the Chosen and they added a ton of playability to each season by adding in extra objectives that rewarded XP and bonuses.
It’ll still be a bit of time until players can complete this objective and gain access to the special emblem.
