The studio laid out the schedule for this month’s Halo Infinite multiplayer beta before it kicked off.
Taking place over two weekends, and during specific windows of time, players will be given access to 4v4 Arena, and 12v12 Big Team Battle (BTB).
To get into the first beta weekend, players needed to have registered with the Halo Insiders program before September 13, and emails were sent out to those selected.
The second beta weekend runs from Thursday, September 30 to Sunday, October 3, and isn’t limited to Insiders.
As per the official Halo Twitter account, Xbox players can download the build via the Xbox Insider Hub – right now, in fact.
Matchmaking will take place in specific windows, so be sure you’re online for the play sessions.
