Technically a multiplayer beta, this release marks the start of Season 1: Heroes of Reach. An official trailer was released in the tweet above as well.
Season 1 comes with a load of content including a premium battle pass with over 100 rewards, both casual and ranked playlists, special events and more. As expected, Halo Infinite multiplayer is free-to-play.
