343 officially launched Halo Infinite just over a month ago, and players have doubled that time in multiplayer. With players completing the battle pass and finishing weekly challenges quickly, people are starting to wonder what’s next. Despite new modes and gameplay elements, most fans are concerned with the state of the games networking in general. Basic tools Halo Infinite should have like anti-cheat and rejoin in progress are yet to come. In addition, Halo Infinite’s big team battle game mode has been plagued by a particularly nasty bug. While the bug usually presents itself in larger parties, the issue appears for all who try to connect. Appearing since the December launch for more than a month now, 343 Industries has finally given some word on when we can expect a fix. In a new blog post on the Halo waypoint forums, Ske7ch updated the community on 343’s priorities and when to expect these new implementations.
Hey @Halo fam, happy new year! The studio is ramping back up this week and I wanted to share a status update on #HaloInfinite BTB: a fix is in testing and readying to go into cert and then into a patch/hot fix. ETA as soon as we have it. More info here: https://t.co/s7yGo1FPVU

When Will Halo Infinites Big Team Battle Hotfix patch finally release?
While claiming that the fix has been in QA for some time, the actual patch is more than likely a week away still. They stated that there are plenty of certifications to go through for a retail release. With smaller party counts, the time it takes to launch into a big team battle together is relatively low. Yet, the failure rate only increases with the number of players in your fireteam. While they are hyper-focusing on Halo Infinite’s big team battle issues, Ske7ch promised a larger patch in February. Possibly to include many other much-anticipated features and game modes. Fans can expect to hear more before January finishes, and hopefully, players will get a roadmap soon. Halo Infinite’s multiplayer is free to play for PC and Xbox users, with the campaign available on Xbox Game Pass.
So what do you think of the upcoming Halo Infinite big team battle fix and anti-cheat implementation? Let us know in the comments down below!
