Halo Infinite
Halo Infinite understands that its absurdly long seasons are a bit of a drag, so here in the seemingly endless season 2, the game is launching a large Winter Update, not a fully new season, but something to tide players over.
And most importantly, it comes with a big new feature for the game, the first fully live version of Forge mode, where players have already been making some wild creations in early tests, and many are hoping Forge alone could be enough to revive Infinite from here forward.
Here is everything coming in Halo Infinite’s Winter Update today:

There are also some buffs and nerfs coming with the Winter Update patch to a few different weapons and tactics, that includes:
Plasma Pistol
Pulse Carbine
VK78 Commando
BR75 Battle Rifle
Disruptor
Frag Grenade
It will likely take some time to determine how successful the Winter Update and Forge mode are in getting players to return to Infinite. Steam playercount has been desperately low for ages now, and on Xbox, Infinite is hovering around the 20th or so most played game on the console, and we will have to track how far this new update may get it to rise, which usually takes a few days to fully reflect a playercount surge in those rankings. All indications are that the Winter Update and specifically Forge mode look pretty great, so we’ll have to see if this is Infinite’s second (third?) wind or not.
