Microsoft hasn't explained the exact breakdown between the data stored on Halo Infinite's disc and the data the game requires players to download from the Microsoft Store. Someday in the far future, you'll no longer be able to download Halo Infinite, but a disc (in theory) should always be readable. It's also a safeguard against the Microsoft Store eventually shutting down. This can be a boon for players with weak internet connections or restrictive data caps. Yet generally speaking, discs ship with a playable copy of the game.

Most modern games, including Halo Infinite, have substantial Day-One patches that you'll want to download to get the best experience.
