So will the next Halo Infinite flight be PVP? The first ever Halo Infinite tech preview start date was last weekend and only just concluded on Monday, and that was based around players against bots — so is the next Halo Infinite beta PvP-based? Is the second Halo Infinite flight multiplayer or single-player, and if it’s multiplayer, will it still just be against bots or can players fight players this time? Here’s all the info.
Is the next Halo Infinite flight PvP-focused?
The next Halo Infinite flight will be PVP-focused, if everything goes to plan.
Another Halo Infinite flight test is likely to happen, and if it does, the team currently plans to be based around PvP and “other aspects of the multiplayer experience.” The first flight test last weekend was mostly based around bots, but the team did make the PvP Arena Slayer mode available for a short time — and developer 343 Industries is planning on expanding this for the next Halo Infinite beta, according to community director Brian Jerrard.
Our hope is to land at least another larger scale flight, properly focused on PVP and other aspects of the MP experience. No timing yet, but reminder you can register at https://t.co/FpliK6rSHS right now for an opportunity to participate when the time comes!
THANK YOU! (5/5)

There should be at least one more Halo Infinite beta test happening in the next few months, well before the current Halo Infinite release date of holiday 2021. The first Halo Infinite tech preview last weekend was only announced at the beginning of the week before, so any Halo fans looking to be a part of the planned PvP flight should keep an eye on social media and make sure they are signed up for Flighting on the Halo Insider page, which is the only way to get access to all of the various Halo Flighting tests.
The good news is that the team welcomes and encourages the streaming of Halo Infinite flight tests, even if they don’t always make that clear. It’s possible Halo Infinite may be getting a battle royale mode too, and it will be on Xbox One surprisingly — although don’t expect it to come out on PS5.
