Halo Infinite added the much-anticipated Forge mode in November, and, despite remaining in a beta state, the map- and mode-making tools have proven to be very popular with the community. It’s also been announced that the Halo Infinite playlist containing maps and modes made by fans using Forge is the most popular in the game overall.
Developer 343 Industries has announced that as of January 2, 2023, Halo Infinite players have collectively built more than 1 million creations using Forge. Additionally, players have together logged more than 8.5 million custom game matches since the Custom Game Browser launched in December 2022. The Custom Game Browser lets people seek out and find custom game types created with Forge, and there are some really fun and unique ones out there.
Halo’s Forge tools debuted back in 2007 with Halo 3, and have been updated and improved in subsequent Halo launches leading up to Halo Infinite’s robust Forge tools.
