Halo Infinite's new story goes on sale for $60 for the Xbox and PC on Wednesday (and is already available to preorder) and will be included for free for subscribers to the Xbox Game Pass.
Microsoft has a lot riding on Halo Infinite after delaying the game multiple times and leaving fans concerned by a gameplay reveal in 2020. But apparently, time has served Halo well. CNET's Mark Serrels said the game is pretty much the "Halo that exists in your imagination," and the game has earned a score of 86 on Metacritic.
