How to fix Halo Infinite not working
Halo Infinite is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach halowaypoint.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Quit and relaunch Halo Infinite
Force it closed instead of switching to another app, because a stuck session with the servers outlives a normal exit. On Xbox that means the Xbox button, the tile, the Menu button, then Quit; on PC, end the process in Task Manager. Then open it again.
Run the network test
Run this before you touch anything else. On Xbox, go to Settings > General > Network settings > Test network connection, then Test multiplayer connection; a Moderate or Strict NAT can block parties and fireteam matchmaking even when solo play works. If the test fails, your connection is the suspect.
Restart your router and console
Unplug the router for a minute, plug it back in, and let the lights settle. Turn the console or PC fully off while you do that instead of leaving it in standby, because a fresh address lease clears most routing stalls. Plug in an Ethernet cable if you can; Wi-Fi drops tend to land mid-match.
Open a ticket with support
If the game fails on your machine alone while others play, note your platform and the exact message on screen, then open a ticket at the Halo support site: https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us. Say what you already tried, because they will ask.
While Halo Infinite is down: what to use instead
- Halo: The Master Chief Collection If you already own it on Xbox or PC, it is a separate game with its own matchmaking playlists, so it is worth a try when Infinite refuses to connect.
- Halo Waypoint in a browser You can still look up your service record and recent match stats on the website while the game won't load, though it sometimes fails at the same time when the backend has trouble.
- Halo Support help centre Check its troubleshooting articles before you reinstall or reset your router.
- Apex Legends It runs on Xbox and PC with crossplay, which makes it an easy fallback when your squad just wants a few rounds of something until Halo comes back.

What happens when Halo Infinite goes down
Halo Infinite is a first-person shooter from 343 Industries with a free-to-play multiplayer mode and a paid campaign, and players on Xbox and PC depend on its online services for matchmaking and progression. An outage interrupts matchmaking, custom games, co-op sessions and progress syncing, so a planned night with friends can stall before the first match loads.
Matchmaking usually fails first: the search spins, then drops you back to the lobby with a connection error. If the problem is partial, campaign or already-loaded matches may keep working while custom games and co-op fail, and progression updates stall. The status at the top of each page shows whether user problem reports are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours; the site does not ping or probe the service, and it never checks from multiple locations. Problems are often regional or partial: a bad night on Xbox does not always mean PC players are down too.

How we track Halo Infinite
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Halo Infinite, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Halo Infinite, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Halo Infinite doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
