Halo Infinite system requirements: Can my PC run it?
The first Halo Infinite beta test proved to be a massive hit despite its rough edges, and chances are that you’re excited to jump into the full game when it launches on Dec. 8, 2021. But just how powerful of a PC do you need to play the Halo Infinite, anyway? Microsoft and 343 Industries have answered that question by revealing Halo Infinite’s full PC specs. Here’s what you need to know, including what the minimum and recommended specs for Halo Infinite are as how you can check if your PC meet these requirements easily.
List of Halo Infinite system requirements

Here’s what 343 Industries lists as the minimum required specs for the Halo Infinite beta:
- OS: Windows 10 RS3 x64
- CPU: Intel i5-4440 or AMD FX-8370
- GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti or AMD RX 570
- RAM: 8GB
- Storage: 50GB
With this hardware, you’ll be able to play Halo Infinite with decent visuals and an acceptable framerate. However, you’re going to need beefier specs if you want to enjoy the game on higher settings with smoother FPS.
Here’s what the developers list as recommended specs for the Halo Infinite beta:
- OS: Windows 10 19H2 x64
- CPU: Intel i7-9700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2070 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage: 50GB
These specs will give you the power you need to play Halo Infinite at high settings with buttery smooth framerates, although it’s worth noting that many of these components (particularly the GPUs) are hard to come by right now. If your specs don’t match or surpass these recommended ones, you may want to turn some settings down.
