Halo Infinite had a slow start. Despite being the biggest Halo launch, many fans were not too happy. It promised a lot, but delivered too little in comparison. But Microsoft and the game’s developers (343 industries) kept on working on this game. And now, players are set to get some new exciting content.

Season after season, Halo Infinite received a number of new maps, game modes, weapons and more. And eventually, players started returning to it. 343 continues its commitment to its game by working on it months after its launch. And now, thanks to all that work, they have introduced season 5 of Halo Infinite, which has come with a long list of updates.

This is a hefty list of changes. Who would have known a developer could change a game so much after almost two years of its launch? But that seems to be a thing nowadays. CD Projekt RED did it for Cyberpunk 2077, Hello Games did it for No Man’s Sky, and 343 is doing it for Halo Infinite.
