Now to the bad news the PC version of Halo Reach doesn’t have any splitscreen options to speak of, whether you’re playing the standalone version or playing it through the Master Chief Collection.Įarlier this year Brian Jarrard, community director at 343, confirmed that the PC version of Master Chief Collection wouldn’t have splitscreen at launch. It should be noted that you can only do splitscreen with two players, and no more. You’ll be able to bring along one friend to help you through Reach’s campaign in splitscreen. If you’re playing Halo Reach on Xbox One, via the Master Chief Collection, you’ll have full access to splitscreen co-op. The answer to that question is both good and bad, unfortunately.

With plenty of players eager to jump into the classic shooter, you’re probably wondering, is there splitscreen in Halo Reach? Well, we’ve got your answer. To reiterate: Loftis did not announce the implementation of split-screen co-op in Halo 5, but the possibility is there post-launch.The beloved Halo Reach has finally made its way to the Master Chief Collection, and for the first time on PC. The glorious thing about Halo and about Xbox is that we can deliver continuous improvements to any experience. "The priority feature for the release of Halo 5 was 60FPS, so that's what the team has been focused on delivering. "Well, we do listen to gamers," Loftis says during a meeting at E3. Microsoft doesn't have any plans to launch the game with split-screen, but in a world of constantly updating consoles and streams of downloadable content, there's a sliver of hope for couch co-op fans, according to Microsoft General Manager of Games Publishing Shannon Loftis. Plenty of longtime Halo fans have hit Twitter with messages ranging from disappointment to some that promise to cancel their Halo 5 pre-orders. This is a drastic shift for the series - every console Halo game has featured local co-op, including the recently released Halo: Master Chief Collection, a bundle of the franchise's major titles. Halo 5: Guardians doesn't have split-screen cooperative play.
