Halo Infinite's eight-minute gameplay demo made some waves in the gaming world, and not the good kind. The reception of the trailer was mixed, to say the least. Several fans were underwhelmed by the graphics of what was supposed to be a ‘next-gen’ title. 343 Industries has heard these criticisms and they have a response.
343 Industries Community Manager John Junyszek said in a community post that they are aware of the fans' reactions and have promised that the company will work on improving the overall fidelity of the game. He also said that what the demo showed was several weeks old so it might not be an accurate representation of the game.
“[W]e do have work to do to address some of these areas and raise the level of fidelity and overall presentation for the final game,” he said in the community post. “The build used to run the campaign demo was work-in-progress from several weeks ago with a variety of graphical elements and game systems still being finished and polished. While some of the feedback was expected and speaks to areas already in progress, other aspects of the feedback have brought new opportunities and considerations to light that the team is taking very seriously and working to assess.”
We do not know the exact launch date of Halo Infinite yet, but we do know that it’s a launch title for Xbox Series X. The next-gen console and the game are supposed to launch during the upcoming holiday season, so there is not a lot of time left to improve the graphics. Only time will tell whether 343 Industries will be able to improve the graphic quality of Halo Infinite in such a short time. However, if they do achieve this goal, they will surely win many fans back.
Since everyone is covering this topic, I might just go ahead as well.

We also got some information about Halo Infinite multiplayer. Do keep in mind that these are just leaks and nothing was officially confirmed. The MP portion of Halo Infinite is supposed to be free-to-play. The game will feature a Battle Pass and will have several new customization options. The leaks also suggested that Arena Mode will aim for 120 FPS on Xbox Series X. That’s a high number of frames per second for a console.
