343 Industries has been extremely hard at work in an attempt to keep its promise of what Halo: The Master Chief Collection should be. The development studio has been releasing updates for the title on a somewhat regular basis, and starting today, it’ll be inviting select members of the Xbox One Preview program to beta test upcoming content updates.

The reason for the expansion beyond its normal beta-testing channels is due to the “scale of the update” as well as to ensure the official release offers the best possible experience for players. The upcoming patch will include the usual tweaks to matchmaking and party system changes and 343 Industries will share more details when we get closer to its official release.

For those interested in beta testing the Halo: MCC content updates, you’ll need to be located in North America, be a part of the Xbox One Preview program, and have a copy of the game, obviously. 343 Industries will select participants based on their level of engagement with the game. If you’re chosen, you should be able to download the update starting as early as January 23.

I don't know about you, but considering how much 343 Industries botched the release of Halo: MCC, I would be extremely cautious to try out beta versions of their upcoming content updates. I think I'd prefer to download stable releases in this case, but hey, that's just me.
