Halo Infinite‘s technical preview beta was released earlier this week and was set to run until yesterday (August 1), however, 343 has instead given players another day to play in order to try out PvP multiplayer, Arena Slayer.
Arena Slayer is a new team-based 4v4 PvP mode, but players can still play bot-only matches. Community director Brian Jarrad said on Twitter: “Get your PVP fix, quick! Our test will only be running until approximately 9 PM PT.”
Jarrad also noted that while PvP is available to try out, players may run into some known issues such as bugs.
The beta will now run until August 2 at 9 PM PT / August 3 at 12 midnight ET and August 3 at 5 AM BST.

The tech preview was previously limited to just Slayer deathmatch against bots, but now players will be able to try out the first real-time multiplayer for the upcoming title.
Halo Infinite is set to launch during the holiday, 2021 and has yet to receive a dedicated release date following its many delays. Although it seems that Xbox Mexico may have leaked the official release date.
It was recently reported that several key Infinite campaign details were leaked online from the technical preview, campaign files that were “unintentionally” included, 343 Industries said. Even more, dataminers have found new files that suggest the FPS could have a Battle Royale mode.
