FULL STORY ======================================================================

Halo Infinites co-op campaign has appeared on the horizon. The new game mode is expected to launch in August later this year, but some lucky players will have the opportunity to jump in early through a hands-on beta.

Developer 343 Industries announced the upcoming Halo Infinite playtest in a tweet . If youre signed up for the Halo Insider program, youll get the chance to play the games co-op update a month early and jump into its open world
with a buddy in July.

The beta only extends to network co-op, though, so dont expect to play split-screen. 343 Industries has said that Halo Infinite will support four-player online co-op when the mode rolls out in August, but local two-player co-op is expected to launch with Season 3 in November.

Halo Infinites campaign co-op has been a long time coming. It was absent when the game launched late last year, with 343 initially expecting to add the feature alongside the release of Halo Infinite Season 2 . That didnt happen, though, as the studio delayed the update to fine-tune its features.
Hopefully, that means it will run super smoothly when it does finally rear
its head. (Image credit: 343 Industries/Microsoft) How to join the Halo Infinite co-op beta?

If you want to jump into Halo Infinites campaign co-op early, youll need to join the Halo Insider program. Its similar to Microsofts Xbox Insider scheme
, letting participants test upcoming Halo services and game modes through hands-on playtests, and provide feedback to help shape the franchise.

Fortunately, signing up for the scheme is dead easy, just head to the Halo Insider website and click the big Join Halo Insider button. Youll be asked to sign in through your Xbox account and select your Halo playtest preferences. Make sure to opt in to either Console Flighting or PC Flighting (or both),
for the chance to take part in hands-on playtests.

If youre signing up for console playtests, youll need to note down what console, controller, display, and audio system youre using to play. If youre opting in to the PC beta, meanwhile, youll need to share your hardware specs on the sign-up page. Don't worry, it walks you through how to do that.

However, even fully-fledged Halo Insider members arent guaranteed a place in Halo Infinites co-op playtest. Youll only be considered for entry. To
increase your chances of being picked, make sure your profile is up to date and accurate. For now, its best to sign up, sight tight, and hope the UNSC smiles upon you. Read up on our list of the best Xbox Series X games
