Halo Infinite will soon open its gates to a number of lucky players invited to take part in its upcoming Multiplayer Flight, whose start and end times we now know. Taking place over two separate weekends, the primary goal is to help developer 343 Industries test the game’s “backend systems and online services at scale ahead of launch.”
The upcoming Halo Infinite Multiplayer tech preview will feature quite a bit of content, the only caveat being the relatively short period of time between it start and end times. Aside from giving its training mode a go – feature that’s new to the franchise –, you can also warm up against bots before heading into matches against human opponents.
Below, you’ll find the start and end times of the upcoming Halo Infinite Multiplayer Flight weekends:

Weapon Drills will also be available as part of the upcoming Halo Infinite Multiplayer Flight, while both the Bot and Social Arenas will feature the new Behemoth map alongside new modes.
The October tech preview weekend also marks an opportunity to try out Halo Infinite’s Big Team Battle mode, which revolves around 12v12 matches. These will take place on the Fragmentation map using the Capture the Flag, Total Control, and Slayer modes.
As far as progression goes, the battle pass should feel familiar if you’ve participated in past tests or have interacted with similar features in other games, but 343 Industries has increased the number of available challenges, which are more or less the main pillar of Halo Infinite’s progression.
Master Chief’s next adventure launches on December 8 and is headed to PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One.
