They won’t make the campaign launch day, but they could arrive before end of year
It sounds like we could be getting some playlist updates forHalo Infinite, and before the year’s out at that. Community manager John Junyszek confirmed today that playlists are in the works for Fiesta, Free-For-All, and Tactical Slayer (a.k.a. SWAT).
Junyszek saysthey won’t arrive by Dec. 8, the launch date forHalo Infinite‘s single-player campaign. But the team is trying to get these new playlists implemented in the multiplayer side before the end of the year.
Let’s talk about Halo Infinite playlists!We’ve been reading your feedback, and we’re working on plans to add Fiesta, Tactical Slayer (SWAT), and Free-For-All playlists as we speak. They won’t land by Dec 8, but the team is pushing to get them in before the end of year 👊

While FFA and SWAT have been somewhat possible using custom game tools, these playlists will hopefully make it easier to queue up and play those modes. Fiesta, meanwhile, was alreadyfeatured as part of the Fracture: Tenraievent.
“Our goal for Events is to try new modes prior to adding to playlists,” said Junyszek. “We’ll monitor playlist health after the 3 additions above and adjust our offering if needed, but we’re excited to make these updates before the holidays. This is just the start of the conversation with y’all.”
Junyszek also confirmed that aSocial Slayer playlist with multiple variationsis in the works, but it won’t be ready until after the holidays.
While some big features like campaign co-op and Forge havebeen pushed further backintoHalo Infinite‘s lifespan, it seems like the general reception toHalo Infinitehas been good on the multiplayer side. It’scurrently leading the audience vote for The Game Awards 2021, and those of us who have been playing at Destructoidseem to be having a good time too. So I have to say, I’m very interested in getting SWAT and other playlists in theHalo Infinitemix.
Halo Infinitemultiplayer is currently available on PC and Xbox consoles, while its single-player campaign goes live next week on Dec. 8.
