It\u2019s been twenty years to the day since Microsoft announced the Xbox, its first home gaming console. To celebrate, the company released a 30-minute presentation<\/a> showing off the history of the platform, from the bulky original to the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and the new and still hard-to-find Xbox Series X and S. To cap off the party Microsoft revealed that the free-to-play multiplayer portion of the hotly anticipated Halo Infinite<\/em> is launching today in open beta.<\/p>\n Players can start on Season 1 of the live service-style shooter right now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X\/S. The full game, complete with its single-player campaign starring series protagonist the Master Chief, will release on the same platforms on December 8th. Like most new games published by Microsoft, it will be free on Xbox Game Pass. The multiplayer portion (the most important part, for a sizable portion of Halo<\/em> fans!) is free, following in the footsteps of popular shooters like Fortnite<\/em> and Apex Legends<\/em>.<\/p>\n
