Halo Infinite Gets Final Major Update, Here’s the Full List of Changes

by

About four years after it launched, the last big update for Halo Infinite is now available. Following the announcement of Halo: Campaign Evolved last month, developer Halo Studios shared that they would be reducing their support for Infinite. While the game may still get small updates to fix bugs and balance gameplay, major content updates, called Operations, will end after this latest patch. That patch is now live, bringing significant changes and new features to the multiplayer game.

The new Operation: Infinite update is now available for Halo Infinite on Xbox and PC. It includes a free 100-tier reward track, plus over 250 new customization options in the Exchange. Players will also find two new maps added to the game’s playlists. The update also adjusts XP and Spartan Point progression, and features a ranked playlist schedule extending into early 2027.

In addition to the major new features, this recent update for Halo Infinite includes several smaller improvements. The developers at Halo Studios have focused on refining Forge and character customization, and also made adjustments to menus and overall gameplay.

You can find the official details about this new Halo Infinite update from Halo Studios listed below.
