Halo Infinite

Halo Infinite is a first-person shooter and the sixth mainline entry in the Halo series. The game features a semi-open world campaign set on the Forerunner ringworld Zeta Halo, where players control the supersoldier Master Chief in combat against the Banished, a mercenary faction of aliens and humans. Players traverse the environment on foot and in vehicles, capturing forward operating bases, rescuing Marines, and completing story missions that advance the narrative. Equipment such as the Grappleshot adds traversal and combat options. The multiplayer component is free-to-play and includes various competitive modes in 4v4 and 12v12 formats.

Below are the four PC tiers we'd actually recommend for Halo Infinite today. These are our 2026 hardware picks, not the dated publisher minimums you'll find on Steam.

If you'd rather buy than build, these are the Create PCs machines we'd put Halo Infinite on, cheapest first. Real specifications and current prices, each link lands on that exact build.

Prices from Create PCs, the UK builder we run, and include VAT. They're the price shown on arrival, not a teaser, but components get repriced, so treat them as current rather than fixed. Custom-built machines start around £2,400; below that a self-build is usually the better answer, and we say so on our budget guides.

Official system requirements

These are the minimum and recommended specs as published by Xbox Game Studios on Steam. They tend to be conservative, usually "what ran the game at 1080p when it shipped". For what you should actually buy in 2026, see the tier cards above.
