Yep, to make Halo Infinite run optimally, you’ll need 16GB RAM, the latest DirectX version, and the top-of-the-line graphics cards. In fact, its minimum requirements require an AMD RX570 or an Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti. To be honest, that is pretty hefty for a game that will run on a base Xbox One. The fact that the game will have a free-to-play multiplayer mode means the barrier of entry can be pretty high.
