It's official folks, as we finally have a release date for Halo Infinite, launching on December 8th this year. The game is also now available for pre-order, and with the Steam Store page now up we finally also know the official system requirements for when the game launches in Holiday 2021.

So what kind of PC hardware is needed to run Halo Infinite at the minimum and recommended specs? Well, unfortunately for us Halo Infinite seems to be a pretty demanding game. If you want to play it at its best then you will need some pretty recent hardware. Minimum requirements might be a bit much for some people, especially after the Halo: The Master Chief Collection ran so well on PCs recently. Though if you're rocking some old mid-range hardware then you should be fine at least.

So let's take a look at the official Halo Infinite PC system requirements...
