Halo: Campaign Evolved launches on PS5 with an unexpected co-op rule

▤ Summary

Halo Studios has clarified the account and subscription requirements for Halo: Campaign Evolved ahead of its PS5 launch. Players on PS5 need their own PlayStation account, but local split-screen co-op does not require PlayStation Plus. The game also requires a Microsoft account and Xbox Gamertag across platforms to enable crossplay and shared progression. On Xbox, the second split-screen player needs a Microsoft account, and online co-op requires Xbox Game Pass. The remake releases on July 28, 2026 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Steam with Unreal Engine 5 visuals, new content, and cross-platform co-op.
