Halo Infinite has received some more changes in gameplay rewards recently. Developers 343 Industries have said that players were receiving “slower payouts” in their starting sessions that were actually planned. In order to compensate, players will be receiving a boost in XP for the first few games every day.
When the game was released, players did not earn any XP for playing. The devs made a change, bringing in a “play one game” challenge where players would earn 50 XP for each game. However, players have not been satisfied with this.
NEW XP DISTRIBUTION
John Junyszek, the community manager at 343 Industries has revealed the details of the boost on Twitter. Players will be rewarded 300 XP for their 1st game, 200 XP for the 2nd and 3rd game, 100 XP for the 4th, 5th, and 6th games. After the 6th game, each further game will reward players 50 XP.
1st Game = 300XP
2nd Game = 200XP
3rd Game = 200XP
4th Game = 100XP
5th Game = 100XP
6th Game = 100XP
7th+ Game = 50XPWe believe this increase will help address those slower initial payouts while also benefiting those of you jumping on each and every day.

Players will experience huge changes with these changes. Previously, they received just 50 XP for every game. 20 games were required to gain a level, but now it will be made easier. Players will be able to progress quicker.
“After seeing how XP was earned with those changes, we noticed that players were starting their sessions with slower payouts than we’d like. To address this, we will be increasing the XP payout for the first 6 matches of each day.”
-John Junyszek, Community Manager at 343 Industries
Further, Junyszek has stated that the developers are aware of players’ desire for larger changes in the game. He went on to say that the developers are “committed to do so, but those will take time.”
We know many of you want even larger changes and we're committed to doing so, but those will take time. We made this update based on data and player feedback, and we'll monitor its impact after we push it live tomorrow morning. As always, keep sharing your feedback! 👊
