Halo Infinite developer apologizes over lack of pre-load

The developer of Halo Infinite has apologized for the lack of a pre-load, and revealed a tip to reduce the game’s download size. 

Following the reveal of Halo Infinite’s file size, community director Brian Jarrard apologized for the lack of pre-load and suggested that players should download the multiplayer beta ahead of the campaign’s full release today to lessen the download time. Halo Infinite will officially release today (December 8) at 10:00 PT/13:00 ET/18:00 GMT. 

According to the original tweet, those starting with the Halo Infinite Multiplayer Beta installed will only need to download the multiplayer update (3.97GB) and the campaign installation (25.86GB) – bringing the overall download down to just 29.83GB all together. However, if you don’t have the multiplayer beta already installed on your PC or console, you will need to download both the multiplayer and campaign which comes in at 48.42GB. 

While you can’t officially pre-load the #HaloInfinite campaign (sorry!) you can get a head start by installing the MP package if you don’t have it yet and save a little time tomorrow. 👍 https://t.co/a0QnimHED6December 8, 2021
