Is Halo Infinite Multiplayer Beta cross-platform? Current crossplay status
Halo Infinite is one of the biggest games in the history of the franchise, but does 343 Industries’ behemoth support either crossplay or cross-progression for its Multiplayer Beta?
Unless you were one of the few that had heard murmurings of early release rumors, the gaming world was left stunned when 343 Industries announced during the Xbox 20th Anniversary event that Halo Infinite’s multiplayer was available to download.
Launching nearly a month early, Halo Infinite is already the most successful Xbox Game Studio title of all time on Steam. Fans can play Halo Infinite now, but will they will be able to crossplay with friends on different platforms? Plus, does it have any sort of cross-progression feature for cross-platform users?
