Overview of Halo Infinite.


Despite people’s opinion, Halo Infinite managed to exceed everyone’s expectations when it comes to campaign mode with stellar storytelling, gunplay mechanics, and its multiplayer aspect with multiple game modes to cater to the audience. Each mode offers great features and compels players to change their tactics in the middle of the battlefield. In our early days, we often played multiplayer games together in the same room and the first Halo game had the same amount of hype as Halo Infinite. Knowing this, Microsoft added split-screen mode to Xbox consoles for veterans as well as new players to experience the game on a single screen and have fun playing matches.


How many players can play in Split Screen?


The amount of players that can play split-screen in Halo Infinite varies, depending on the console. Xbox One allows a maximum of two players, while Xbox Series X/S allows up to 4 players in the same mode so if you have the next-gen consoles, you can play with 4 people only if they have the same console.
