Halo: Campaign Evolved’s PS5 version is prompting criticism for its local split-screen co-op requirements. Despite being an offline feature meant for couch play, multiple outlets report that both players must have active PlayStation Plus subscriptions to play together on PS5. A developer community Q&A entry is cited as stating that when running split-screen on PlayStation 5, both accounts need PlayStation Plus. Some reporting also notes additional account requirements, including the need for a Microsoft account in connection with the mode. The pushback centers on the mismatch between an offline, local co-op experience and what players are required to pay for and maintain online subscription access. In response to the controversy, at least one outlet reports that the publisher/developer later backtracks, describing the requirement as a mistake, suggesting the initial implementation or communication is being reconsidered. Overall, coverage converges on the idea that local split-screen co-op on PS5 is initially tied to dual subscription access, and that the issue is drawing attention ahead of the game’s release.
