Yes, local co-op Halo Infinite has been officially canceled by 343 Industries. A broken promise that put the fans of the game on a war footing against the studio which shows too many difficulties with the game. The still lack of content, the connection problems, the balancing errors of many weapons and the absence of key game modesthey do not leave a good image of the franchise.
Personally, I still think the campaign and gunplay are brilliant, but right now it’s hard to defend 343’s work in multiplayer. It’s part of the soul of Halo. So, to a certain extent, I understand people coming out with torches and balaclavas asking for a restructuring of the studio.
A bug enables local split screen in Halo Infinite
Going back to the topic of local split-screen co-op, it turns out that thanks to a fan account in the game, we know we can enable it. Although this is clearly a bug in the game, but it is there and it is fully functional. In fact, activating it does not require any deep knowledge of anything, just a few in-game combinations and nothing else.
The issue works on both Xbox One and Xbox Series, although obviously the One model is going to suffer a lot in performance. It’s possible that’s why the study dropped the idea. Take a look at this tweet and enjoy.
Following that, here is a quick tutorial on how to play #HaloInfinite Splitscreen Coop using menu issue found by @Zeny_IC!

Remember that this is a bug in the game, there is no official support from 343 Industries and it is possible that future updates will eliminate this possibility.
