Hazelight Studios, known for its fantastic couch co-op games, has released its latest title, Split Fiction. A key question on many players' minds is whether this game can be enjoyed solo. The answer, unfortunately, is no.
Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?
Like its predecessors, Split Fiction heavily emphasizes cooperative gameplay, either online or via local couch co-op. There's no single-player mode, no AI companion, and the intricate, precisely timed gameplay makes solo play virtually impossible even with multiple controllers.
How Does the Split Fiction Friend's Pass Work?
However, Hazelight provides a clever solution: the Friend's Pass. This allows a friend to join the game, regardless of platform (PlayStation, Xbox, or PC), as long as one player owns a copy of Split Fiction. Here's how it works:
- The game owner purchases Split Fiction on their chosen platform.
- They invite a friend to download the Friend's Pass on their platform.
- The owner sends an invite to their friend for a session.
- They play the entire game together! The Friend's Pass works across all platforms, including via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA app.
This inclusive approach makes Split Fiction accessible to a wider audience, even for those who might be hesitant to purchase the game without trying it first.
That's all you need to know about playing Split Fiction solo (you can't!) and how to utilize the Friend's Pass.
Split Fiction launches March 6th on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
