However, the campaign download size is smaller if you already have the multiplayer portion of Infinite installed. “While you can’t officially pre-load the #HaloInfinite campaign (sorry!) you can get a head start by installing the MP package if you don’t have it yet and save a little time tomorrow,” Brian Jarrard, Halo community director at 343 Industries, tweeted. Halo Infinite’s official release date is today, 8th December, but the campaign does not go live until 6pm UK time tonight. Check out our useful Halo Infinite release guide for more. Fans had hoped to be able to pre-load the campaign, but for some reason this is not possible, as confirmed by 343 last night. This means fans can only start the download from 6pm tonight, and while the Halo Infinite download sizes are significantly smaller than the likes of Call of Duty’s, some with slow internet speeds may struggle to play this evening. Here’s how the Halo Infinite campaign install sizes work out. Starting with no existing Halo Infinite installation:
Installing multiplayer only: approximately 26.53GB Installing both multiplayer and campaign: approximately 48.42GB
If Halo Infinite’s multiplayer beta is already installed:
Multiplayer update only: approximately 3.97GB Campaign installation: additional download of approximately 25.86GB Total of both downloads: approximately 29.83GB
Interestingly, there’s no word on installing the campaign on its own, which suggests you need to install both multiplayer and campaign in order to play the campaign. This tallies with how the game is structured on Steam, where the campaign is listed as £49.99 DLC for Halo Infinite.
