Halo Infinite: Crossplay & Crossprogression

In our crossplay guide to Halo Infinite you will learn:

  • How to crossplay on PC and Xbox
  • How to disable crossplay on Xbox
  • Whether Halo Infinite supports crossprogression

Crossplay in Halo Infinite

Halo Infinite offers crossplay between all available platforms: Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. You can simply invite your friends via the " " under your fireteam in the multiplayer menu and then jump into multiplayer games together.

You don't have to enable crossplay first either, cross-platform play is enabled by default in the game.

Can I disable crossplay?

You don't want to play with the controller against PC players with mouse and keyboard? Then we unfortunately have bad news for you: There is no option to disable crossplay in the game itself. However, you won't see which input devices people are playing with. Unlike Battlefield 2042 or Call of Duty Warzone, the platform is not displayed next to the player names.

However, there is a system setting on the Xbox to disable crossplay in all games:

  • Open the guide with the Xbox button, go to "Profile and System" and open the settings
  • Then go to Account>Privacy & Online Security>Xbox Privacy>View & Customize Details>Communication & Multiplayer
  • Now set the second option "You can now join a cross-network game" to "Block"

This should disable crossplay completely. However, since the game doesn't display players' platforms, we couldn't verify if crossplay is really disabled in Halo Infinite with this setting. However, it is worth a try.

Thanks to crossplay, PC and console players can steal flags together in Halo Infinite.

Only in the ranked games can you set which input devices you want to compete against, for example, to only be matched against other controller players. However, you cannot completely deactivate crossplay there. You can find out how exactly the ranked matches work and how to set up the matchmaking correctly in our big Halo Infinite ranked guide.

Is there cross progression in Halo Infinite?

In addition to crossplay, Halo Infinite also offers crossprogression, so you can access your entire game progress across platforms. So if you play Halo Infinite on PC first and switch to an Xbox later, you'll take all the unlocks and level-ups you've earned with you.
