US EditionHalo Infinite's Next Major Update Will Be Its Last So Halo Studios Can Focus on 'Multiple Halo Titles in Development'
Halo Studios will end major updates after Operation: Infinite on Nov 18 and continue limited support while shifting focus to multiple new Halo games.
- On November 18, Halo Studios will release Operation: Infinite, the last major update for Halo Infinite before Microsoft moves it into maintenance mode to focus on new games.
- Player numbers fell sharply after launch, driven by complaints over content and monetization, and Halo Infinite never reached the midpoint of Microsoft’s 10-year plan after its delayed December 2021 launch.
- Operation: Infinite arrives with a free 100-tier Operation Pass and a 100-tier Premium Pass with no planned expiration, adding cosmetics and permanently doubling XP progression and Spartan Points while Halo Studios continues daily and weekly challenges plus ranked seasons.
- Halo Infinite will remain playable on Xbox and PC even as updates wind down, while Halo Studios shifts focus to Halo: Campaign Evolved, due in 2026 on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 5.
- The studio, rebranded from 343 Industries to Halo Studios, endured layoffs and scrapped the cancelled 'game changer' battle royale mode, signaling a broader Halo franchise and cross-platform strategy shift.
