343 Industries confirmed last week that it is abandoning the split-screen co-op feature on Halo Infinite. But, this hasn’t stopped fans from wanting it anyway. A few even wanted it so bad that they’ve added the feature to Halo Infinite themselves.
A few players took advantage of a menu glitch to work out how to make local co-op in Halo Infinite work. Surprisingly enough, it functions with minimal impact on the cutscenes, enemy spawns, and behavior.
The best part is that this is not an exclusive exploit – you can do it yourself. All you need to make local co-op work on Halo Infinite is an Xbox Series S/X as well as an online friend.
If you have both, simply follow our step-by-step guide (thanks @HaloCreation).
- Navigate your way to the campaign menu and load a save file
- Click Play and quickly move to your friend list
- As soon as you see “loading map” appear on the screen, go to your friend list and join a friend
- Leave Fireteam
- Select “offline” under the server type in the custom lobby
- You should be able to connect other controllers and profiles
- Play away
Keep in mind that Halo Infinite doesn’t support split-screen co-op so 343 could patch away this glitch anytime. Until then, feel free to take advantage of this and schedule Halo night with your friends just like the good ol’ days.
