A lagging and slow game is bad news for a gamer. No matter how skilled you are, you will only have to quit to save yourself the humiliation. In this tutorial, we shall look at some simple but effective ways to make Halo Infinite run better.
Gaming is fun but not always fun when you are at the humiliation receiving end. If you want to be on top of your game, then you will need a faster and high-performing game.
Sometimes, you don’t even have to change your console to make it faster. You only have to tweak a few things to make your game perform better. Today, we shall look at how to make Halo Infinite run better both on PC and any other console you have.
Halo Infinite is a shooter game developed by 343 Industries and released in 2021. The game was published by Xbox Game Studios and is available in all Xbox One series. There is also a version for the Windows computer which PC users can enjoy.
How to make Halo Infinite run better
There are different ways to make this game run better especially if you know what is making it slower. If you are playing this game on your PC, then if it is slower, you will have to make your PC faster first.
We will tackle the game’s performance by solving the PC’s performance first. If we are sure our PC is faster, then we can go ahead and check what is wrong with the game itself.
Make your PC perform better
- If you are using your PC for gaming, then make sure your PC is at least within the 5 to 8 CPU cores range. This is the number of CPU cores most gaming consoles come with and that should be ok for your PC too.
- Use performance-boosting software like SpeedFan and ThrottleStop to help get your PC to its peak performance.
- Replace your HDD with an SSD. SSDs tend to load files faster than HDDs which is why you must use SSDs in your gaming PC.
- Upgrade your RAM: If your RAM is too low, the CPU will have to fetch temporary files from the Hard Disk which is not good at all.
- Get a faster internet service: Halo Infinite is an online game and demands an internet connection, especially when using the Xbox cloud. The files will have to be fetched faster for a faster serving. That is why you need a very good internet connection to make this game perform better.
You can also implement other tiny changes you can improve the performance of your PC.
With all the above done, you can go ahead and configure the game itself for maximum performance.

Now that we have finished performance settings for the PC, let us take it a bit further by tuning the FPS of the game itself. If you are playing on the Xbox console, some of these settings will also be useful to you.
