Halo Infinite is experiencing a resurgence in player numbers after the release of its season five update. The game has seen more than double its usual player count since the update on October 17th. Over 18,000 concurrent players have joined the servers in the past day alone, according to SteamDB.
While this is a positive development, Halo Infinite still has a long way to go before reaching its peak player count of 272,586 when it was released in 2021. It’s important to note that these numbers only reflect the PC player base and do not include console players.
The increase in players can be attributed to a variety of changes introduced in the latest season. The addition of the AI toolkit for the Forge game mode has been particularly well-received, offering players a new and customizable experience. The community has praised the extensive customization options and the ability to set up large-scale battles among AI combatants.
Alongside these changes, the season five update also includes quality-of-life improvements, tweaks to the battle pass system, new Flood-themed skins, and game modes. These updates have reignited the interest of Halo Infinite players and encouraged them to return to the game.
It is still early days for the season five launch, and only time will tell if the player numbers will continue to rise. However, the initial response is promising, and Halo Infinite seems to be off to a strong start with its latest update.
