Microsoft has taken a completely different path in the way they release their first-party releases than Sony and Nintendo. All Microsoft’s flagship franchises like Halo and Gears of War along with other major publications will be available on Xbox Game Pass for a small monthly fee. Of course this counts for Halo Infinite as well.
We already knew that all future first party releases for Microsoft will be featured in Xbox Game Pass for almost a year now. Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2 have already made their way to the service on their release day, making room for bigger titles to be added in the future. The next ones to come are the next Forza title, Gears 5 and of course, Halo Infinite, which is not the last addition to the franchise. Until this happens let’s take a look at what other Halo games you can play on Xbox Game Pass:
Halo: Spartan Assault
Halo: Spartan Assault is set during the timeline between “Halo 3” and “Halo 4,” where you progress your Spartan career as you engage in over 30 Campaign missions using favorite Halo weapons, vehicles and armor abilities. The game features online multiplayer and co-op modes.

Are you using Xbox Game Pass? When Halo Infinite releases will you rather buy it and keep it forever or play the game on the service instead?
