Master Chief's age in Halo Infinite

Halo Infinite takes place in 2560, as evidenced by several of the story beats we know so far. Master Chief crash lands on the Zeta Halo in May of 2560, several years after Halo 5: Guardians. After several months missing, Master Chief was mistakenly declared dead in October of 2560. Master Chief was born March 7, 2511, meaning that he is 49 at the start of Halo Infinite.
