How to access Halo Infinite’s Forge Mode early

Halo Infinite’s Forge Mode was included in the insider build of Halo Infinite but currently some intrepid users have only been able to access the hidden files on the PC version. Below we want to share a how-to guide on to access Forge Mode for yourself.

1. Enter your Steam library
2. Select Halo Infinite (Insider)
3. Select the Play button
4. Then Sign into the Xbox account
5. IMPORTANT When the loading screen shows the text Accessing data centers for best connection, disconnect your PC from the internet immediately
   • Pulling your Ethernet cable out or turning off Wi-Fi in Settings are the fastest ways to do this

8. Select My Bookmarks
9. Select Forge UCN
10. Select Custom Game
11. Scroll down to go as far down in the list as possible
12. Scroll up one selection
13. Select that option
14. Select Local Area Network
15. Select your computer from the list when it appears
16. Then scroll up until you see “Map details” in the bottom-left corner of your screen
17. Either press the A button or the Enter key.
18. Select a Map
19. Then scroll down to go as far down in the list as possible
20. Finally, Select that option
21. Once you go through the process above correctly, you will load into a Forge lobby on a map you select
22. Enjoy!
