Halo 5: Guardians Local Server is a piece of software released by 343 Industries to support Halo 5: Guardians local multiplayer, released on November 2, 2017, alongside the game's Overtime update. It can be installed on a Windows 10 PC and used to connect together multiple Xbox One consoles for LAN and tournament play, replicating the Halo Championship Series/ Halo World Championship setup. Despite being a PC application, it does not support Halo 5: Forge.[1][2]
Local Server can be used to host custom games (including custom gametypes and Forge maps). [2]
Despite being used to host local games, both the host PC and all connected consoles require an internet and Xbox LIVE connection in order to communicate with 343 Industries' servers, though connected accounts do not need to have paid Xbox LIVE Gold.[2]
