Halo Infinite will now give you bonus XP for your first few matches each day
343 Industries said players were "starting their sessions with slower payouts" than desired.

More EXP changes have been added to Halo Infinite, giving players a nice boost for their first few games each day.
Infinite's battle progression has been a play one game" challenge that awards 50XP each time, but community manager John Junyszek said the studio "noticed that players were starting their sessions with slower payouts than we'd like."
To combat this, the first six games played each day will now reward a bonus chunk of experience, gradually decreasing until you're back to the standard 50XP from game seven onwards. The changes are due to go live later today and have been made "based on data and player ."

While it's a welcome change, the battle is still a bit of a flawed mess. Junyszek said that 343 is "committed" to making bigger changes down the line, but "those will take time" to implement. Even Halo Infinite's lead designer has said he's "feeling everyone's pain" about Infinite's frustrating progression system, adding that addressing the complaints is his top priority.
