Halo Infinite may not be too far away now, with a release date of this December 8th, but players could potentially be getting their hands on the game even earlier judging by these newly uncovered Microsoft Store listings.
As spotted by Aggiornamenti Lumia, a Twitter user who regularly scans the store for new and hidden pages, Halo Infinite was spotted with an Early Access Digital Bundle.
Of course, this could be just a way for journalists, such as ourselves, to eventually gain early access for review purposes before launch. Then again, Forza Horizon 5 is also launching with an early access version this Friday, so it could be a possibility Halo Infinite follows suit.
Aggiornamenti Lumia also claims various DLCs for the game have popped up over the past few days, but didn't elaborate on what these may be.
These could range from anything, such as Battle Passes to cosmetic skins. It's already confirmed the game will include in-game purchases, but will not be introducing loot boxes.
If an early access bundle is on the way, we imagine we'll hear something about it very soon. Halo Infinite's December 8th launch is fast approaching, so if any form of early access is coming, it would need to be announced pretty rapidly.

Given each season is 3 months according to the August Development Update, my guess is:
Perhaps with this bundle being a Game Pass Ultimate perk.
How about early access to the campaign because thats all i care about.
Argh already bought premium for FH5 early access... I strongly suspect if they tell me I can have early access on Halo I'll probably buy the add on for that too...
Think we're learning how Xbox can squeeze the extra cash out of 1st party GP games - and to be honest I'm fine with it, if I know I'll love it I can get the early-access version and if not I'll wait and see how I find the game on GP
If this is for multiplayer it sounds like it'll be a great way to revisit the technical previews in the levels of sweatiness before general release will hopefully dilute that a little.
If it's an early access bundle with added DLC/Battle Passes like FH5, I'll gladly buy it.
I can always buy the actual game so I own the complete package later down the line when it's on sale.
Pay more to play it a few days early how consumer friendly
As long as it comes with expansions or like year 2 content, something like that, I'd buy that version. I don't think it's a good idea to just give them money for early access solely.
If it's early access on the 3rd with the first years battle pass like any other game I would gladly purchase it. I'm a sucker for early access.
@SplooshDmg Yeah I have a busy 4 day weekend when Halo comes out so if I can get my hands on it earlier I'll be super happy. Want to beat the campaign before all the memes and trolls get to it.
I've always kind of wondered if Halo could be made into a good 2D game. I've never been a fan of the franchise, FPS games aren't really my thing, but if a 2D run-n-gun or platformer were to surface, I might give it a look.
@Hordak Halo Wars is a real time strategy.
Yes, please. Please, please, please. Just release it already. Can't wait for December 8th!
