Currently, 560,144 players play Halo Infinite on a monthly basis as shown by data provided by ActivePlayer.io. The game averages 186,715.00 players on a daily basis as well.

Other sources of information revealed in the past that over 20 million people have tried playing Halo Infinite since its release. That means that the number of people that have played it since it was released is quite a lot.
Although the statistics may not tell the exact story when it comes to its current and past players, the data provided can be considered accurate since rarely any game can compete with the numbers it had during the first few months after release.
Halo Infinite player count per console
As Microsoft claims, about 20 million have played Halo Infinite since it was released. However, it is tough to truly verify that claim because Microsoft keeps that data secret, and most other aggregators online deal with PC stats only.
Speaking of consoles, the only other platforms that Halo Infinite is available on are Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. It is not available on either PlayStation or Nintendo because Halo is an Xbox or Microsoft exclusive title.
Unfortunately, there are no numbers regarding the people playing Halo Infinite on the Xbox consoles. Only Microsoft is privy to those numbers because Xbox doesn’t rely on third-party services for its multiplayer such as Steam. As such, considering that Microsoft is yet to release the number of players playing Halo Infinite, it is tough to say how many players are playing on the Xbox consoles.
Is Halo Infinite player count rising or falling?
The Halo Infinite player seemed to be stable enough at the moment without great fluctuations in player numbers. Over the last couple of months, the game has seen a rising trend in the total number of players varying between a 6 % gain in December to a 2% gain in the last 30 days.
These numbers are however a far cry from Halo Infinite’s peak when the game has seen 256,619 players in a single day.
| Month | Monthly Gain / Loss | Monthly Gain / Loss % |
|---|---|---|
| Last 30 Days | +15,119 | +2.80% |
| December 30, 2022 | +34,771 | +6.80% |
| November 30, 2022 | -43,688 | -7.90% |
| October 30, 2022 | +11,221 | +2.10% |
| September 30, 2022 | -2,531 | -0.50% |
| August 30, 2022 | -1,469 | -0.30% |
Of course, it is expected for any new game to have dwindling player counts because of the fact that some people will quickly grow tired of it. And you also have to consider the fact that we are living in a saturated online gaming market with plenty of competitors on the playing field.
So, even if it might be true that Halo Infinite players are meager, the numbers might see a bigger increase. Of course, we can also say that there will be more players joining the mix in the next few months, as they may compensate for the dropping numbers.
