Everyone was expecting Halo Infinite‘s campaign co-op beta to kick off on Monday, but that didn’t happen. It’s (hopefully) still coming this week, but 343 Industries is being coy about the details.
On Monday, 343 Industries community director Brian Jarrad took the time to address what’s going on with Halo Infinite‘s co-op beta.
“[Testing] is fluid as the process entails discovering issues in initial rings and resolving them before expanding to a larger audience. A few issues were discovered in our current [test] ring, and the team is working to address,” Jarrad said on Twitter. “Apologies to folks who expected the [beta] today – we’re eager to get this into your hands but we also want to ensure it’s a positive and worthwhile experience. Still targeting this week, but it’s day by day as work continues.”
Apologies to folks who expected the flight today – we're eager to get this into your hands but we also want to ensure it's a positive and worthwhile flight experience. Still targeting this week but it's day by day as work continues. Ty for your patience and understanding. (3/3)

While this is disappointing, at least 343 Industries aren’t carelessly shoving the beta out. After the recent lag issues, it’s probably best not to rush any other game modes – even if the wait has been excruciating.
Eight months have gone by since Halo Infinite came out. Initially, everyone loved the campaign and old-school multiplayer, but that adoration clearly hasn’t stuck. According to SteamCharts, there are roughly only a few thousand concurrent players daily. Of course, that doesn’t account for people on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, or the PC Game Pass version, but it’s still not great.
