Halo fans are upset that the newest entry in the series doesn’t support split-screen play. Well, here’s a kind-of-sort-of solution.
Screens, a device currently on Kickstarter, allows for two HDMI sources to play on the same TV. So, you can watch TV on one half of the screen while playing a game on the other. However, you can also use Screens to play split-screen co-op of Halo 5. Of course, the catch is that you need two Xbox Ones. Also, Skreens is still seeking funding, so you can’t buy one now. Still, you can see this solution in action below.
The creators of Skreens also have a video that show the device allowing someone to play Halo 5 on an Oculus Rift virtual reality device, even though the Xbox One doesn’t currently support VR. However, this isn’t true VR, instead simply projecting the flat image of the TV onto the Oculus, without all of the head-tracking you usually have in virtual reality.

The Screens Kickstarter campaign — which ends in 4 days — has raised $396,430, well exceeding its $25,000 goal.
