Halo Infinite mid-season updates improve anti-cheat and add LAN feature – full patch notes

Halo Infinite has a lot going on right now. The co-op mode was delayed from Season Two’s launch, but it’s still on the way. Meanwhile, the game received several wins from the 2021 Video Game Accessibility Awards.

Today, March 14, developer 343 Industries has a double dose of updates for the latest Halo title. The first is a patch that resolves two lingering issues: it improves stability in the PC version and adds an option to access LAN servers from in-game menus. That update is only “600 MB or less” on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One.

The other update is roughly twice as large, at 1.3 GB. This is the mid-Season One update, bringing a slew of improvements and bug fixes. The blog post summarizes some of these fixes before listing the patch notes, including better cheat detection and anti-cheat implementation — Easy Anti-Cheat is why the game isn’t on Steam Deck, in fact. Additional changes include smoother first-person animations and Quick Resume improvements. See the full patch notes below.
