343 Beta Testing Halo: The Master Chief Collection's Next Content Update
343 has been testing the latest content update for Halo: The Master Chief Collection internally, but to ensure a proper rollout it is getting the public involved.
Select players who have opted into the Xbox One Preview program who own and play The Master Chief Collection regularly should see a prompt to download the beta update for the game on January 23. The update will include changes to the matchmaking experience and party system and is apparently quite extensive.
You can find a full F.A.Q. for the beta content update by heading here.

Our Take
A beta for a free content update is certainly unusual, but after The Master Chief Collection's rough launch, I understand why 343 Industries' is taking every precaution.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
