Halo PS5 Split-Screen Demands 2 PS Plus Subscriptions and Linked Microsoft Accounts

Summary
Halo Studios' latest Q&A says two players using PS5 split-screen in Halo: Campaign Evolved must each have a PSN account, a linked Microsoft account and an active PlayStation Plus subscription.
That means couch co-op on one console is effectively locked behind two paid memberships, even though the mode is local split-screen rather than online multiplayer.
On Xbox, split-screen also requires separate Microsoft accounts, but the report says players do not need Xbox Game Pass for couch co-op, sharpening the contrast with PS5.
The requirement surfaced ahead of Halo's first PlayStation launch on July 28, extending earlier confirmation that PS5 players would need Xbox account linking for the game.
