Halo Waypoint corrected its June Community Q&A on June 20 after it mistakenly said a PlayStation Plus account was required for local co-op in Halo: Campaign Evolved. The fix matters for PlayStation players because it removes a subscription gate from the published access rules before the game’s July 28 release.
Halo Waypoint and Campaign Evolved
The Q&A says players need a Microsoft account and XBOX Gamertag to play Halo: Campaign Evolved on any platform. That requirement also covers solo or co-op play, and Halo Waypoint says it is meant to enable cross-platform play and cross-platform progression.
Halo Waypoint also says the game will support split-screen and online co-op. For players planning around launch, that means the platform-specific question is not whether PlayStation users can join local co-op, but which account setup they need to have ready before July 28.
PlayStation Plus and the correction
The correction removed the earlier PlayStation Plus statement from the June Community Q. That is the part PlayStation users needed clarified, because the revised note no longer ties local co-op to a subscription on that platform.
The account rule still sits next to a separate subscription claim in the same Q&A. Halo Waypoint says players who pre-order the Premium Edition can get up to 5 days of Early Access starting July 23, so anyone trying to line up with friends has two different checkpoints to track: account setup and preorder timing.
Campaign Remix and Skulls
Halo Waypoint says there are 3 Skulls hidden on each mission in Halo: Campaign Evolved. It also says another 3 Skulls are granted upon unlocking Campaign Remix, which gives completion-minded players a second route to chase modifiers without treating every Skull as part of the main mission path.
Halo Waypoint has also said the Collector’s Edition is sold out, no restock is planned, and retail partners found no evidence of widespread scalping. The practical takeaway is narrower than the headline drama: PlayStation users no longer need to read the June Community Q&A as adding PlayStation Plus to local co-op, but they still need a Microsoft account and XBOX Gamertag before launch.
The open question is whether Halo Waypoint will restate the local co-op rule more plainly in the next Q&A, because the correction fixed the error without adding a fresh platform-by-platform breakdown.
