"Halo Infinite" will not be released until the holiday season later this year, but the game's developers are giving fans a little taste of what is to come.
343 Industries, the developer of the game, has announced that it will be conducting a series of beta phases it refers to as "flights."
It is important to note, however, that only a select number of players can take part in these "Halo Infinite" beta phases.

The "Halo Infinite" flights may not be available for everyone, but there are steps players can take in order to have a chance to take part.
According to a post on the official "Halo" website, 343 Industries said that players need to have a verified Halo Insider account.
To have a verified Halo Insider account, players simply have to register for Halo Insider using their gametags. The email used for the Halo Insider account must then be verified. Players then have to select the options to opt-in for communications, followed by the opt-in for "flighting."

So when exactly can the select players enjoy the technical preview? According to 343 Industries, it has "been given the okay to say our first Bot-focused technical preview could happen as soon as next weekend."

First 'Halo Infinite' Technical Preview to Focus on Bot Features
According to a report by IGN, "Halo Infinite's" first technical preview will focus on the game's bot features.
"Halo Infinite" Head of Creative Joseph Staten referred to the multiplayer bots as one of his favorite features in the game.
"In the early Halo games, they were a feature that we always wanted to land but that consistently got cut due to limited time and resources," he said as quoted in the blog post on the Halo website.
Staten added that he is "very happy we've been able to make them happen this time around."
"Halo Infinite's" Head of Creative revealed in the blog post that these will be four different kinds of bots: Recruit, Marine, ODST, and Spartan. According to the IGN report, the Spartan bot is the "hardest bot skill level to compete against naturally."
