As we've already noted today, Halo Infinite developer 343 Industries has provided an update on the development of the game, with the "sandbox" team revealing that all of its launch content is now in-game and being played daily.
The "sandbox" element refers to "all of the vehicles, equipment, weapons, and objects that the player will interact with" as well as" all of the player systems and 'verbs' like jump, run, health values, shield recharge times, etc."
"We have everyone fixing bugs on our launch content and some exciting efforts kicking off for future updates – like new vehicles, equipment, etc. But we’re pretty much playtesting a ton and looking for ways to polish and improve everything. All of our launch content is in-game and being played daily but it takes a strong effort to get something from 90% to a full 100% ship quality.
So, we are pushing hard to squash bugs and tune our toys so they are in a good spot as we get closer and closer to launch (and public flighting before that). Additionally, we are taking time to evaluate the visuals of certain sandbox items with the goal of ensuring everything is landing the way the art directors envisioned."
The latest "Inside Infinite" blog update on the Halo Waypoint website talks in-depth with the sandbox team about what they're working on, from vehicles to weapons and much more. It's definitely worth a read!
Do you think Halo Infinite will still make its Fall 2021 release date? Give us your thoughts below.

Nice! I think they will be ready and fully polished for the fall. Glad they took the extra time to make sure they got it right.
Yeah i think they will be ready this time around. Pretty excited to be part of the experience from day 1, I'll be playing through the MCC this year to catch-up on the story for launch
September 2020 "I feel really good about Halo [infinite launching in Nov 2020]" - Phil Spencer
Nearly February 2021" The sandbox content is 90% done and untested!
@NEStalgia Yeah, it boggles the mind that this game was all set to go for just a few months ago, and now it sounds like they have a lot of work left to do. It doesn't make any sense lol.
@Jslade Maybe CDPR was providing assistance on the title. "Oh, yeah, Phil, it's in great shape, ready to go gold next week!"
Since I got lucky and got a XSX just yesterday and reading today there is an insider program for halo infinite, I immediately signed up.
It would be sad to see the franchise get another blow, so I hope they get a lot of feedback from tests and can make it a success.
I believe in this game. So strong.
It will be next Christma's biggest game.
I just can't wait. But I will. Cause I want it to be perfect.
Cyberpunk's lesson learned, friends...
