Halo Infinite's ranking system went live with the game's multiplayer on Nov. 15 much to the delight of fans.

A ranked system is at the heart of all competitive video games. Without a dedicated ranking system and playlist, an esports ecosystem is hard to nurture. Luckily for Halo fans, Infinite launched with a dedicated playlist, ruleset, ranking structure and even esports skins as 343 Industries continues to grow the Halo Championship Series for the upcoming season.

Here's everything you need to know about the ranking system in Halo Infinite multiplayer, per Halo Waypoint.

Ranks

  • Bronze (I - VI)
  • Silver (I - VI)
  • Gold (I - VI)
  • Platinum (I - VI)
