Halo: Campaign Evolved PS5 port requires two PS Plus subscriptions for local split-screen co-op
By
Tomas Franzese
Summary
The PS5 port of Halo: Campaign Evolved requires players to have two active PlayStation Plus subscriptions to play local split-screen co-op, a controversial requirement that has drawn criticism from fans. Unlike the original Xbox release or the PC/Microsoft Store versions which allow local co-op without additional fees, the PS5 version demands each player profile have its own PS Plus subscription. This is due to Sony's platform policies requiring PS Plus for online features, and the game apparently authenticates each player's profile online even in local split-screen mode. The requirement has been met with significant backlash from the gaming community, who view it as an unnecessary barrier to a feature that has traditionally been free on other platforms.
