Halo Infinite's Forge Beta Crosses Impressive Milestone
According to a recent update from 343 Industries, Halo Infinite's Forge feature has already passed a significant milestone despite still being in the beta stage. Over the years, the Forge has grown to be one of the most popular features of the Halo franchise. Now, as 343 attempts to reintroduce the tool via Halo Infinite, fans appear to be responding with similar enthusiasm.

While it may be a while until the feature gets an official launch, its popularity inside Halo Infinite doesn't seem to be slowing down.
