Halo: Campaign Evolved's PS5 release requires both players to have PlayStation Plus for split-screen co-op, sparking outrage among fans. This move contrasts with Xbox Series X | S and Steam requirements. The game launches on July 28, 2026, across PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X | S.
Halo: Campaign Evolved is set to launch on PS5 next month with a surprising caveat: local couch co-op requires both players to have active PS Plus accounts linked to Microsoft. This move has been slammed as "anti-consumer" and "complicated", sparking comparisons to past issues seen in Call of Duty. The requirement underscores a complex interplay between Sony's and Microsoft's online service policies.
Twelve titles, including the critically acclaimed Risk of Rain 2 and Tropico 6, will exit PlayStation Plus on July 21, 2026. This removal coincides with a price increase for the Essential tier. Players have a limited time to experience these games before they leave the service.
PlayStation is reportedly pulling out of PC ports for single-player games, citing inconsistent releases and lack of revenue, as stated by Herman Hulst. This move means upcoming titles like Marvel's Wolverine will be exclusive to PS5. The decision does not affect live-service games, which will continue on PC.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 receives a free update on July 28th, introducing a new suit inspired by the Brand New Day storyline, an amalgam of suits from three Spider-Man film franchises. This revised suit, influenced by fan feedback sought by Tom Holland during the film's development, will be available for all players on PS5. The update marks a rare content addition to the game after years.
Halo: Campaign Evolved, despite being an Xbox icon, is seeing unprecedented pre-order success on the PS5, topping charts in the UK, Germany, and France. This shift challenges Xbox's exclusivity strategy, particularly after Gears of War: E-Day's decision to skip Sony's console. The game's strong pre-order performance, fueled by its Unreal Engine 5 makeover, hints at a potential reevaluation of Microsoft's exclusivity approach.
Sony's decision to halt PC ports of exclusive titles may inadvertently abandon its substantial Chinese audience, where PC gaming dominates due to historical console bans. China accounted for 42% of Death Stranding 2 sales and was a top market for Stellar Blade. This shift could cost Sony a significant share of the Chinese gaming market.
