If what you were waiting for was the Local co-op in Halo Infinite We have bad news for you. It seems that 343i has to go back on those promises, as Halo Infinite has reportedly abandoned its plans to add the split-screen co-op campaign. Since the release of Halo: Combat Evolved in 2021, the split-screen campaign co-op mode has been one of the most beloved features of the flagship Xbox franchise.
Split-screen co-op remained a focal point for Halo until the release of Halo 5: Guardians, which dropped the feature in a hugely controversial move. In the wake of the mixed reaction to Halo 5, 343 and Microsoft have promised that future Halo installments will bring back split-screen. But it seems that there will finally be no local co-op in Halo Infinite. Secondly, Discarded enemies from the Halo Infinite campaign have been discovered.

The cancellation of local co-op in Halo Infinite would have been confirmed 343 in a new update video for developers. The video confirms that both the Halo Infinite’s Forge mode and co-op campaign will launch on November 8, but it is also confirmed that the cooperative campaign will be online only, with no split-screen option as previously promised. Which does not necessarily mean that it will never come, although it is most likely.

343 has explained that this decision has been made so that developers can focus on supporting elements of the Halo Infinite live service, freeing up resources to address player feedback and work on updates. Needless to say, this will likely be a controversial decision on 343’s part, especially since split-screen has been promised for the game for years.
