Halo Infinite Operation: Infinite Patch Notes—Free Operation Pass, Maps, Progression Updates and More

Halo Infinite has received a big update called Operation: Infinite! It includes a free Operation Pass with 100 tiers of rewards, along with new maps and other improvements.

Halo Studios recently announced they’re wrapping up active development on Halo Infinite to concentrate on future Halo games. The latest update includes permanent boosts to player progression, a revamped Ranked Seasons system, and over 200 new customization options in The Exchange, along with other improvements.

What’s New in Halo Infinite’s Operation: Infinite Update?

Okay, so the big news is they’ve added a free Operation Pass with 100 tiers – and it never expires, which is awesome! You can unlock the Serpin, Seeker, and Adamant armor sets just by playing, plus a bunch of cool coatings and customization options for my Spartan. If I want to go all-in, there’s also a Premium Pass with 100 tiers that gets me five full armor sets, six brand new weapon skins, some instant unlocks, and even more Spartan customizations – over 30 of them! Definitely tempting.

Halo Infinite just got two new maps: Yuletide and Vacancy. Yuletide is a peaceful alpine village under the Northern Lights and will be playable in Husky Raid and Super Husky Raid modes within the Quick Play playlist. Vacancy is a small, unassuming inn that blends into the environment, and it will be available in Ranked Arena, Slayer, Doubles, and some rotating game modes.

I’m really excited about all the new stuff coming to the game! They’re adding a bunch of ways to progress, and you can even get free rewards just by logging in. Plus, the shop is getting a makeover, there’s a cool new ‘Defiant Bundle,’ and they’re reintroducing some old enemies with a twist. They’ve also added a shop calendar so you know when your favorite items are available, and a new system called ‘The Exchange’ where you can trade things. You can find all the details below!

2 NEW MAPS

YULETIDE

Forged by: Sikamikanico, bullet2thehead9, Whos Blaze
Set in a quiet, alpine village nestled beneath the Northern Lights, Yuletide gift-wraps the warm glow of streetlights, freshly fallen snow, and the aimless smoke of a familiar hearth together in one beautifully serene package—and shatters it with mercilessly merry Husky combat.
Yuletide is available in Husky Raid and Super Husky Raid modes in the Quick Play playlist.

VACANCY

Forged by: MikRips, Ethan Hibbs
On a quiet square sits the Hotel Kijani, a modest inn baked into its surroundings by years of mid-afternoon heat. Hours after the markets have closed, when the alleyways and busy thoroughfares have emptied, and long shadows begin to grow on the crested archways of this storied city—only then do warriors strafe its scenic courtyards in pursuit of glory.
Vacancy is available in Ranked Arena, Slayer, Doubles, and select rotational modes.

PROGRESSION UPDATES

Halo Infinite just got even more rewarding! We’ve boosted how quickly you earn progress. You’ll now get twice as much SP from Daily Challenges and Weekly Ultimate Rewards, and level up through Career Ranks twice as fast thanks to increased scoring in all matchmaking playlists.

THE SHOP

It’s a little sad saying goodbye to four years of updates for Halo Infinite multiplayer, but the team at The Shop really went out with a bang! They created some awesome items to honor three of Halo’s most iconic villains, and even included a seriously creepy version of a Covenant enemy – it’s a perfect way to remember them all.

DEFIANT BUNDLE

Become a legend with the Defiant bundle! It includes powerful, magical weapons, a unique death animation, and armor sets based on the mysterious Harbinger from Halo Infinite and the fearsome Spartan she faces.

Deimos: First conjured in the Prophets’ sermons of fear, the wrathful silhouette of DEIMOS has now been forged in the heat of glassed cities to deliver absolution as an emblem of humanity’s wrath. Give your foes the horns with the Flawless Sentinel helmet attachment, and add a touch of damnation with the Fiendbane Raiment armor coating.
Exorcist Mutilator: Cleanse corruption with the holy fire of the Exorcist Mutilator weapon model and the Fiendbane’s Blessing weapon coating.
When you’re finished hellraising, opt for a greener hue to rock a saintlier look inspired by the Master Chief’s armor in Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.
Sibyl: Emissaries of the Endless don the Sibyl armor set to perceive the truths between spaces and heighten their kinship with the unseen. It has proven uniquely suitable for dispelling Forerunner lies, especially when deployed in harmonic resonance with the Harbinger of Truth armor coating.
Kylixian Heatwave: The destined weapon of those who whisper truths. Enshroud thy innermost intent in the Final Codex weapon coating, and pay homage to your Xalanyn mistress with the Chibi Harbinger weapon charm.
Meteor Fall: Pummel your enemies with fiery darts from beyond the stars with the bundle-exclusive Meteor Fall death effect set.
Defy the odds with the Defiant bundle, containing the Deimos and Sibyl armor sets, Fiendbane Raiment and Harbinger of Truth armor coatings, Exorcist Mutilator and Kylixian Heatwave weapon models, Fiendbane’s Blessing and Final Codex weapon coatings, Chibi Harbinger weapon charm, and the exclusive Meteor Fall death effect set.
Available in The Shop now through January 5, 2026.

RECOMPILED FOES

The Recompiled Foes bundle brings together two of Master Chief’s toughest opponents: the Dominarch, inspired by Escharum, and a reimagined version of Cortana’s eternal knight from Halo 5: Guardians, now as a Cavalier.

Dominarch: Gird yourself in the unbroken pride of the Banished! The Dominarch armor set echoes the glory of Escharum, fallen but not forgotten, whose legacy shall live on in awe-struck whispers across a thousand worlds. March to unrelenting war in the Blood and Iron armor coating.
Hopebreaker Mutilator: Abandon hope, ye down the barrel. The Hopebreaker Mutilator’s burning crest announces its dominion most mightily against the sepulchral hues of the Deliverance Denied weapon coating, or when bearing the immortal leer of the Chibi Escharum weapon charm.
Cavalier: Echoes of the dead replicate ceaselessly in defense of the Domain, and at the gates proudly stands the Cavalier, ever watchful in its vigil against unworthy lusts for sacred knowledge. Clad in the heraldic Mantle’s Duality armor coating, those who shoulder its timeless burden shall bring all others to kneel.
Riftwave Heatwave: A precision instrument for unprejudicial composition. Spread the ancient message of your makers with the Promethean Shell weapon coating.
Perfect Decomposition: When will they understand that composition is a mercy? Leave no trace of your foes’ corporeal forms with the bundle-exclusive Perfect Decomposition death effect set.
Join forces with the Recompiled Foes bundle now through January 5, 2026.
