Which Halo Games Have Campaign Co-Op and Split-Screen?

Compare campaign co-op and split-screen support across the MCC, Halo Infinite, and Halo: Campaign Evolved, including player limits and platform restrictions.

Most mainline Halo campaigns support co-op, but campaign co-op and couch split-screen are not the same feature. In The Master Chief Collection, all six campaigns support co-op; Xbox supports campaign split-screen for two players, while PC does not. Halo Infinite has four-player online campaign co-op but no campaign split-screen. Halo: Campaign Evolved supports four-player online co-op and two-player campaign split-screen on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, but not PC.

Halo campaign co-op and split-screen at a glance

“Co-op” can mean playing a campaign together over a network; “split-screen” means playing locally on one console with the display divided between players. The table distinguishes those modes rather than treating multiplayer split-screen as campaign support.

Which games in The Master Chief Collection have campaign co-op?

All six campaigns included in The Master Chief Collection support co-op. Halo Support gives the first two a two-player campaign limit and the remaining four a four-player limit. Its MCC co-op explainer lists those limits; the MCC Quick Start Guide covers Xbox and Windows platform differences.

Two-player campaign co-op

  • Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
  • Halo 2 Anniversary

Four-player campaign co-op

  • Halo 3
  • Halo 3: ODST
  • Halo: Reach
  • Halo 4

For those four-player campaigns, the four-player maximum is the co-op limit, not the number of people who can share one local screen: MCC campaign split-screen is capped at two players and is Xbox-only.

Can you play Halo campaigns split-screen on Xbox or PC?

For the six MCC games, campaign split-screen is available on Xbox for two players on one console. The MCC guidance distinguishes Xbox same-console play from PC play: PC players can play campaigns with friends over the Xbox network, but PC does not support split-screen. A second controller therefore does not add local campaign split-screen to the PC version.

For Xbox couch co-op, the official MCC guide instructs players to connect an Xbox controller for each split-screen player and select a profile for the second player.

Does Halo Infinite have campaign split-screen?

No. Halo Infinite supports network campaign co-op for up to four players, but that is not local split-screen. Its split-screen play is a multiplayer feature. Halo Support’s Winter Update notes, updated November 10, 2022, state that Network Co-Op allows up to four players to play through the entire campaign together. The separate multiplayer guidance concerns multiplayer with friends, not campaign split-screen.
