halo infinite not authorized to play error

Halo Infinite is hosting another beta flighting this weekend on both PC and Xbox consoles.

Given players have specifically been chosen to play Halo Infinite’s beta flighting and have been sent codes in order to load up the game, this clearly isn’t what’s supposed to happen. They definitely are or at least should be authorized to play Halo Infinite. So how do you fix the error?

Fixing ‘Your account is not authorized to play Halo Infinite‘ Error

According to a number of players on both Reddit and in the Twitter replies to one of the Halo Twitter account’s most recent tweets, the best way to fix the “Your account is not authorized to play Halo Infinite” error message is to close Halo Infinite completely and load it back up again.

If this still doesn’t work for you, players have advised restarting your Xbox console and PC altogether, before trying again.

There doesn’t appear to be any rhyme or reason for why players are being hit with this Halo Infinite error message. Should the above method not fix the error, head over to the Halo Waypoint support page and leave a message. With a bit of luck, if there actually is an issue with your account’s authorization to play the Halo Infinite beta flighting, this should flag it to the right people to resolve.

That’s everything you need to know on how to fix the ‘Your account is not authorized to play Halo Infinite‘ error. For more on the game, be sure to check out our guide wiki, or see more of our coverage on the game below.
