Players looking forward to revisiting the classic Halo campaign via local split-screen on PlayStation 5 are discovering a significant catch: both participants must possess an active PlayStation Plus membership.

This move departs from historical console norms where local multiplayer was traditionally free, leading to frustration among fans who view these hurdles as unnecessary barriers to a legendary offline experience.
