As announced, this technical preview focuses on bots as well as the Academy's weapon drills.

Halo Infinite is the franchise's first foray into the world of multiplayer bots. 343 will use the technical previews to gather feedback on bot behaviour and online performance, and to that end will debut the Bot Arena playlist, which puts four players against four bots on arena maps. For the technical preview, the bot arena experience features Slayer across three maps: Bazaar, Recharge, and Live Fire.

343 will show off the technical preview in detail tonight, 10pm UK time, in a livestream.
