How to sign up for the Halo Infinite co-op campaign beta

Jesse Lennox

It's no secret that Halo Infinite launched with many missing features that fans were expecting. The core gameplay was solid, but the multiplayer mode was bare-bones, forge is missing, and perhaps most importantly, there was no co-op of any kind. Co-op, as well as forge, is planned to be coming but much later than expected. Thankfully the team at 343 appears dedicated to adding more content to this flagship franchise, but many players are running out of patience for these features to come.

What You Need

The current roadmap schedules Halo Infinite's co-op to hit sometime in August of 2022, nearly a year after launch, but there was also an announcement that they would be allowing players to test out this mode early. This won't be available for everyone by default, though. If you want to make sure you and your friends are among the first Spartans to fight back against the Banished on Zeta Halo, here's how you can join the Halo Infinite co-op beta when it launches.

Step 3: Choose to opt-in for either Console Flighting or PC Flighting, depending on which platform you have or prefer, or simply choose both.

Step 4: If choosing console, you will need to enter which system, controller, display, and audio setup you have. If on PC, you will need to enter your specs as well.

Step 5: Wait and hope. Simply being opted in for these tests doesn't guarantee you a spot in this or any other test.

When is the Halo Infinite co-op beta?

Halo Infinite's co-op beta is scheduled to begin in July, just one month before the mode releases to the public. However, the specific starting and end dates in July for the test are not yet known. Likely they won't be public until those chosen to participate in the beta have been selected.

Despite being native to Pandora, your character in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora isn't familiar with the world or its creatures by the time you step foot into the lush and vibrant world. Having been raised by the Resources Development Administration (RDA), your character reacts with a sense of awe and fear. But you don't have to brave the dangers of the planet, not to mention the militaristic RDA, alone. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora lets you bring a friend along to help beat the humans back and save your planet from their pollution. Here's how to get a game of co-op started.
How to start co-op

Before you can play co-op, both you and your partner will need to play solo for a few missions. Until you have both completed "The Aranahe Clan" quest, which does take a few hours of play, the feature will be locked.

FromSoftware set an interesting standard for many souls-likes in how it handles multiplayer. In nearly all of its titles that support co-op, the mechanic is never as simple as most games where you just need to invite a friend or select an option on the menu. Just like the story, souls-likes enjoy making this mechanic a bit esoteric, but what about the new Lords of the Fallen? We already know this game features both co-op and PvP, but will it make engaging in these activities a chore like its inspirations? Here's how to play co-op in Lords of the Fallen.
