New Features

This update brings the Match Composer, changes to the Daily Challenge, and several bug fixes to Halo Infinite. For a full list of this update’s bug fixes, see the Resolved Issues section below.

Match Composer

The new Match Composer feature allows players to select which game modes within a matchmaking playlist they'd like to play. Deselecting a mode will result in players not matching into that game mode. Please note that selecting a small number of modes may result in longer matchmaking search times due to a lower number of available matches that fit the selected criteria.

The following playlists utilize the Match Composer feature:

• Big Team Battle: For those who prefer a bigger battle. Here you can curate between standard BTB, BTB Heavies, and a variety of other BTB modes.
• Firefight Normal: Take the fight to the Banished. Curate your Firefight experience with different modes on Normal difficulty.
• Firefight Heroic: Take the fight to the Banished. Curate your Firefight experience with different modes on Heroic difficulty.
• Firefight Legendary: Take the fight to the Banished. Curate your Firefight experience with different modes on Legendary difficulty.
• Infection: Infect the enemy team or survive until the time limit. Players killed by Infected become Infected.
• Quick Play: All things 4v4 from Team Slayer to Husky Raid. Curate your preferred 4v4 experiences here.
• Rumble Pit: A mix of Slayer variants and other Free For All modes. You're on your own, Spartan.
• Squad Battle: Your traditional fix for large scale warfare. Curate your experience with Team Slayer and objective gametypes.
• Team Doubles: Assorted games for teams of two. Work together or die alone; teamwork is critical here.

Use the instructions below to navigate to and use the Match Composer feature in-game:

1. Select Multiplayer on the main menu.
2. In the Multiplayer menu, select a compatible matchmaking playlist. Compatible playlists will feature the "[MATCH COMPOSER]" tag at the beginning of their description, which can be found near the lower left corner of the Multiplayer menu.
3. After selecting a compatible playlist, use the Select Modes button to view and edit the preferred game modes.
4. Navigate back to the playlist's menu after selecting the desired modes.
5. On the playlist's menu, select the Play button to search for a match that fits the selected requirements.

To access the Match Composer menu, use the Select Modes button on the playlist menu.

Daily Challenge Update

When the Banished Honor Update launched on April 30, the Daily Challenge for completing a matchmade game was updated to award 250 Spartan Points (SP) rather than 500 XP. With today’s new update, a second Daily Challenge has been implemented to award 500 XP after completing a second matchmade game in a single day.

Both Daily Challenges reset each day at 10am PT.

Resolved Issues

The following issues were resolved in the June 4, 2024, update:

• Improved stability of suspending Halo Infinite on Xbox One and Xbox One S consoles.
• Using the “Buy Item” shortcut button listed along the bottom of the Exchange menu no longer results in a prompt to use or purchase Credits.
• The Credits and Spartan Points balance counters have been removed from the top right corner of the post-match rewards menu to avoid confusion about earned rewards.
  • These balance counters can be viewed in the Shop menus.
• Updated PC stability reporting.
