gadgets.ndtv.com:

Halo Infinite brings back Xbox's most iconic game after six years. The Halo franchise began in 2001 — as a launch title for the OG Xbox — and ever since, people have gone bonkers playing some of these titles. Halo Infinite had a surprise launch for its free-to-play multiplayer mode on November 15, alongside the 20th anniversary of Xbox. But the Halo Infinite single-player campaign only releases later this week — Tuesday, December 8 to be specific — and we've had the pleasure of spending some time with it ahead of release.

The new Halo game costs Rs.3,499 on Steam and Rs.3,999 on Microsoft Store, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X. The 343 Industries-led game will also be available to everyone with an Xbox Game Pass subscription on day one. You can already pre-load the game. In terms of download size, the Halo Infinite single-player campaign will eat up about 50GB of space on your PC, while the multiplayer mode of Halo Infinite weighs in around 26GB. Halo Infinite multiplayer supports crossplay, so Xbox and PC gamers can play together.

Let's begin with what your PC rig needs to play the new Halo title. Halo Infinite gives you four different graphics requirements ranging from the bare minimum, which can be achieved by using a GTX 1050Ti or a Radeon RX 570 with around 4GB VRAM, to Ultra settings which requires a beasty Nvidia RTX 3080 or AMD Radeon RX 6800XT with about 10GB VRAM. As for the CPU, you will require an Intel i5-4440 or an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 to get started at the minimum required level.
