Fresh off the back of the last, very successful, semi-exclusive, Halo Infinite beta, Microsoft has taken the decision to open the game up to almost everyone in the Xbox ecosystem. By ‘almost’ we mean that anyone can be a part of the next Halo Infinite beta but there is a prerequisite – you must be an Xbox Insider.
Report in, Spartan. All #XboxInsiders on Xbox are invited to join Weekend 2 of the #HaloInfinite Tech Preview! Check the Xbox Insider Hub app for details. Not an Xbox Insider? Joining takes seconds–just install the Xbox Insider Hub app from the Store! https://t.co/TuU5uoNHw6 pic.twitter.com/dTB1NpPbKm

While being an Xbox Insider grants you access to the next Halo Infinite beta, it’ll also allow you to be part of the feature development process for Xbox, pushing new developments to your console before they release to the public.
If you’re only concerned about Halo Infinite though, the beta will begin on Thursday, September 30th, and will last until Monday, October 4th. So, to ensure you get the maximum amount of playtime you might as well sign up via the Xbox Insider Hub and preload the game before Thursday comes around!
