Halo Infinite season 5 introduces the best Forge update yet
techradar.comHalo Infinite has seen a large boost in players following the release of Season Five: Reckoning and the highly anticipated Forge update.
As reported by IGN, 343 Industries' first-person shooter has seen a rise in players on Steam recently thanks to the launch of Season Five on October 17. According to SteamDB statistics, the game had a steady number of players at around 7,000 for months, but the latest update saw the concurrent player count rise to over 18,000, making it the highest peak since the launch of Season Two: Lone Wolves, 17 months ago.
It's not just the release of Season Five that has caused the game to see popularity again. 343 also introduced some brand-new updates to the Forge toolkit, a feature that allows players to use the game's sandbox to edit maps and create their own game modes.
With the latest patch, Forge now has NPCs — friends and foes from the main campaign — that can be used to populate maps, including UNSC, Banished, and Forerunner units to create your very own PvE experiences.
It looks like players are having a ton of fun with the update, with some even going out of their way to recreate other games within the Forge, and they're seriously impressive (via GamesRadar+).
