How to check Halo Infinite server status?
If you're experiencing a server outage in Halo Infinite, it's recommended to check the official Halo Infinite Twitter account to stay up-to-date on the issue. However, if there's no information available on the Twitter account, you can also check the Xbox Support account, which deals with Xbox Live problems, or the Steam Status Twitter account if you're playing on PC. Another option is to visit the Down Detector website and check the Halo Infinite page for player reports on server status. If there are multiple reports of issues, it's likely the game is experiencing problems, rather than your internet connection. If you've checked all these sources and find that Halo Infinite's services are working properly, you may need to restart your router or contact your internet provider for further assistance.
