Halo Infinite’s Multiplayer Beta has been in full swing since last week, with players having access to most of the game’s content that will be available at launch. One of the available features is the Theatre mode, and while it is functional in the Beta, comeHalo Infinite’s full release, all films in the Theater will be erased.
In the short amount of time theHalo InfiniteMultiplayer Beta has been available, fans around the world have voiced their feedback, a lot of it praising the gameplay and art direction, while also criticising the battle pass and progression systems for being quite frustrating.Prior to updates from 343 Indsutries, players were only earning XP towards their battle pass progression by completing challenges, and not their performance in game, resulting in an unsatisfying leveling system for many. Beyond these problems, it also seems likely that features like Forge and Campaign Co-Op have been delayed further due to the changes happening in multiplayer.

An update from the official HaloSupport account indicates that currentHalo InfiniteTheatre clips will not be around for much longer. 343 Industries states, “Saved films forHalo Infinitecreated between 11/15 and 12/7 will no longer be visible in Theatre on 12/8,” withDecember 8 beingHalo Infinite’s full launch. Currently in Theatre mode, players can watch recordings of their recent match history, as well as specific game files they have bookmarked for longer preservation. To ensure that players can save the films they want, 343 Industries writes that players “may wish to use a digital video recording tool.”
Following the link directs users toHalo’s official support page, to an article explaining how to create and share media inHalo Infinite. The wording on this page implies thatfutureHalo Infiniteupdates—besides the upcoming transfer of Beta to launch— have the capacity of destroying players' film libraries. “Substantial updates, such as moving from Beta to full release, can reset your history and bookmarks or result in some films becoming deprecated due to changes in game content,” 343 Industries states. Players should probably get into a habit of either using their Xbox’s built-in screen recording software or the Xbox Game Bar service on PC to preserve their films.
Halo Infinite’s share of praise and criticism has been directed at nearly every aspect, but one that seems to be getting more love than hate is the cinematic nature of the sandbox. Fromplayers saving their teammates with the Wasp, to other players using perfectly thrown power cells to rip them apart, the action ofHalo Infinite is exciting in ways not possible in previous entries. While many players may be quick to just capture these moments themselves, others may just rest assured that it is saved in their Theatre library, but that apparently will become a dangerous game to play if they could erased with any big update.
Halo Infinite’s Multiplayer Beta is available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, with the full game launching on December 8.
