The new "Halo Infinite" Multiplayer mode should have been a pleasant surprise to many players. However, instead of excitement, they reported ongoing blue screen issues on Xbox and PC. The game developers immediately issued a patch fix for the problem.

Early on Monday, 343 Industries celebrated its 20th Xbox anniversary with a surprise. They launched the "Halo Infinite" Multiplayer beta early on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC. The game is currently free to play! The beta also includes open access to season one content like core maps and battle pass features. Note that any progress made in the multiplayer mode will carry over to the official launch day on December 8.

Unfortunately, mere hours after the launch, "Halo Infinite" players encountered different game issues.

'Halo Infinite' Multiplayer Blue Screen Issue

According to fan complaints on Twitter, many encountered blue screen issues during the "Halo Infinite" game launch. Some said their game crashed. Others noticed that their game files got corrupted. There are also a few complaints about a frozen or stuck loading screen.

The Halo community director Brian Jarrard acknowledged the issues on his social media page. He said players using Xbox and Windows are "likely hitting some blue screens / errors." He assured the community that "the build is still publishing," so the issue should be resolved in due time.

Jarrard also suggested restarting or relaunching the Xbox Game Pass on PC. He emphasized that this fix worked for some gamers. Unfortunately, no workaround was provided for the Xbox gaming consoles, so players had to wait for the official fix.
