Frequently asked questions
- Does Halo: Campaign Evolved have couch co-op?
- Yes on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5: both support two-player split-screen for the full campaign. The publisher guide does not list PC as a split-screen platform.
- Is couch co-op the same as online co-op?
- No. Couch co-op means local shared play (same device / same screen or local profiles). Online co-op and crossplay are tracked on separate pages so answers do not blur together.
- What does Player 2 need?
- A second controller and signed-in profile. On PlayStation 5, Player 2’s PlayStation Network profile must already be linked to a Microsoft account.
