Following the surprise release of Halo Infinite’s multiplayer for Xbox and Halo’s 20th-anniversary, the response has been overwhelmingly positive as many fans have noted that the game feels like a return to the Halo trilogy days where the franchise was the king of multiplayer shooters. It hasn’t been all positive though. The one thing that everyone agrees on is how rough the progression system in the game is. Since the release and the feedback, developer 343 Industries has noted that they are paying attention and that changes will continue to be made.

The #HaloInfinite team has also resolved issues with the following Challenges which were causing progress to not be tracked: Heat of the Moment, It Bears Repeating, Jorge Would Be Proud, and Ultra Tech. (2/4)

As a result of these changes, all progress on active Daily and Weekly Challenges will need to be reset, however, all players who sign-in between November 23-30 will receive this week’s Ultimate Reward: the Sigil Mark VII Visor. (4/4)

The first round of changes made to the progression system included the addition of Play 1 game challenges that reward players simply by playing the game. XP boosts were also doubled from 30 minutes to an hour. Players can also earn XP by completing matchmade games. The devs also updated the Challenge deck so players of all skill levels can benefit.

After seeing how XP was earned with those changes, we noticed that players were starting their sessions with slower payouts than we’d like. To address this, we will be increasing the XP payout for the first 6 matches of each day. An outline of this update can be found below:

Today, more changes were announced. Community manager John Junyszek announced that the amount of Battle Pass XP will be increased for the first six matches of the day. The first game is worth 300 XP, then 200 XP for the next two games, 100 XP for games 4, 5, and 6. The 7th game onwards is worth 50 XP. Junyszek said, “we believe this increase will help address those slower initial payouts while also benefiting those of you jumping on each and every day.”

We know many of you want even larger changes and we’re committed to doing so, but those will take time. We made this update based on data and player feedback, and we’ll monitor its impact after we push it live tomorrow morning. As always, keep sharing your feedback!

Junyszek reiterated 343 Industries and said that more changes will be implemented in the future but that it’s going to take time.
