Halo 6 / Splitscreen

Community General Discussion

I’m positive about split-screen returning back in Halo 6. But, there is 1 thing that concerns me, so I would like other people’s opinions that might know more.
I was thinking that what if Microsoft/343, comes up with the idea of, “Hey, Halo 6 will offer split-screen, but if you want that, you need the Xbox One Scorpio’s power, so no split-screen feature for the original Xbox One”.

Personally, on one hand this approach could be bad for Microsoft/343 reputation, but on the other hand, if they want to deliver 60 FPS WITH split-screen (which to be honest, I do prefer to keep my 60 FPS along with split-screen), we already know that wouldn’t be possible with the Xbox One, so could they cut the split-screen feature from the Xbox One only, and not the Xbox One Scorpio?

As we already know, they won’t be making exclusive games for the Scorpio, so I thought that this might also be a way to push people into buying them. Thoughts?

It’s very possible. We know that XB1 couldn’t handle H6 60fps splitscreen, even if they didn’t improve the graphics over H5. I thought maybe they could make the XB1 version 30fps and Scorpio 60fps but that couldn’t work because then Scorpio players would have an advantage over XB1 players. I don’t know how they’re gonna tackle this and it’s scary lol

I wonder how long it’ll take for Microsoft to slowly phase out XB1 and just focus on Scorpio. The Scorpio sounds amazing but the XB1 is just going to hold it back.

Yeah I’ve wondered about this too and what you described with splitscreen being exclusive for Xbox Scorpio is the only way I can see it happening.
