Also over the weekend, rumors abounded on the Internet that free multiplayer for Halo Infinite would begin today However, if it was scheduled, Microsoft may have cancelled it at the last minute with an "eleven-hour delay"

"Update: The 11th hour change has claimed the early rollout of "Halo Infinite" multiplayer The original plan was to deliver "Halo Infinite" multiplayer on Monday, November 15, but the delay has pushed it back a bit
