Halo Infinite, surprised the entire community of players who love the beloved Halo franchise, and that is that one of the greatest attractions of the saga is its local and online multiplayer to be able to play with other users, where we have been able to see that they have polished quite the gaming experience for its most recent installment.
Something that we find quite striking is that Halo Infinite also allows split-screen cooperative multiplayer, so it is possible to configure the game to access this very comfortable function. So you can enjoy the experience with another player on the same console, but first of all you have to know some essential requirements to play Halo Infinite in split screen.
Halo Infinite’s local co-op multiplayer supports up to 4 players, but split-screen is only available on Xbox consoles. This means that you can play locally under these conditions on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, but not on PC.
Also, you need to have two Xbox accounts and at least a couple of compatible controllers to play with another person. Just remember that Xbox One is limited to a maximum of 2 players with split screen, while Xbox Series supports up to 4 total.
How to play Halo Infinite split-screen multiplayer
If you meet all the above requirements, you can follow the steps to play Halo Infinite in split screen. At the moment it is possible to play only the multiplayer modes in split screen, but for the campaign mode you will have to wait a bit.
343 Industries had planned to add this feature with the Season 2 premiere, but the co-op campaign has been delayed until later. With that said, below are the instructions for playing split screen.
- Turn on the Xbox Series X|S console and sign in with your profile.
- Launch Halo Infinite and go into the main menu.
- Now connect and sync the second controller to the console.
- Press the button [Menú] of the second command.
- Sign in with a different Xbox account for the second player.
- enter the menu [Multijugador] and choose the mode to play.
When you have chosen the multiplayer mode you want to play, split screen will be activated automatically. It’s a very easy process and you don’t need an Xbox Live Gold subscription because Halo Infinite multiplayer is free to play. Of course, it is recommended that the second player has his own Xbox account, although he can also enter as a guest.
