The '''Halo Insider Program''' is a testing program implemented by [[343 Industries]] for updating and testing future builds of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' and ''Halo Infinite''. The program was implemented following the bug-filled launch of the original ''Master Chief Collection'' game. With the launch of the [[Xbox One X]], 343 Industries announced that the MCC, which had gone without major title updates for several years, was going to be updated with 4k UHD enhancements for the new console. The game had been previously left "as-is" for fear of further impacting the game's code and making bugs and glitches more prevalent - with the Xbox One X enhancement update, the studio saw an opportunity to once again revitalize the game and completely rework the game's structure for a better end-user experience. In October 2017, the MCC Update was officially announced, with 343 putting together a dedicated internal team to oversee the handling of "legacy" ''Halo'' titles, with the MCC their top priority.<ref name="Insider1">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mcc-development-update '''Halo Waypoint''' - MCC Development Update'']</ref> Two flights for ''Halo Infinite''s multiplayer ran in the fall and summer of 2021. Another flight was launched to test Co-Op campaign and Mission Replay.
