After encountering a huge amount of problems when it released Halo: The Master Chief Collection on the Xbox One console, 343 Industries confirms that it's going to organize beta stages for all future Halo titles, just like it did at the beginning of the year for Halo 5: Guardians.

The Halo series is Microsoft's biggest intellectual property and last year millions of fans flocked to the Xbox One in order to enjoy Halo: The Master Chief Collection, a package that included revamped versions of Halo 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the new console.

Unfortunately, the actual game encountered a lot of problems after launch, relating to its multiplayer mode.

Following this poor showing, Halo dev 343 Industries pledges, via Gamespot, that it's learned a valuable lesson and that all future Halo games will have beta stages to ensure that everything is going smoothly ahead of launch.

The upcoming Halo 5: Guardians already had a lengthy multiplayer beta at the beginning of the year and 343 mentions that it learned a lot of great lessons that were incorporated in the final version of Halo 5, which is set to launch exclusively for the Xbox One in late October.

You can expect to see more of Halo 5 next week, at E3 2015.
