Halo Infinite Cyber Showdown: Start Time, Rewards, And Challenges

The Halo Infinite Cyber Showdown kicks off this week as the third event since Infinite's launch in November. Halo Infinite has wowed its players with tight-knit first-person gameplay that is evoked the old-school feeling many Halo fans were clamouring for. However, with a battle pass stretched across six months, content could at times seem a little sparse. That's why fans will be eager to jump into the latest Halo Infinite Cyber Showdown event, which will offer up new challenges and unlockable cosmetics. Here's everything you need to know about the Halo Infinite Cyber Showdown event, including start times, rewards and more.

If you, like many, are eager to jump into the Halo Infinite Cyber Showdown event you luckily don't have long to wait. The event will start on January 18 at approximately 6PM for UK players (1PM ET, 10AM PT). We have no confirmation as of yet on exactly how long the event will last. The previous Halo Infinite Tenrai event lasted just one week, but we know that it will return at some point. The Halo Infinite Cyber Showdown has been rumoured to last a longer two weeks. We'll update this article when we know for sure. 

Halo Infinite Cyber Showdown: Rewards And Challenges

We don't know a whole lot about the Halo Infinite Cyber Showdown rewards, but a recent reveal trailer did give us a glimpse of at least two cosmetic items. The Cyber Showdown teaser trailer unveiled a hologram visor and mohawk, which players were giddily adding to their collection alongside, Samurai gear sets and helmet capping cat ears.

Since the Halo Infinite Cyber Showdown hasn't started yet - at least at the time of writing - we don't know for sure the challenges that it will include. However, casting our minds back to the Tenrai event, players were tasked with completing challenges such as the Halo Infinite Killing Spree, or earning kills in Halo Infinite Fiesta matches. We may see the return of Fiesta, or possible a new game mode all together.
