Friend's Pass Details

Split Fiction is strictly a co-op experience—no solo play is possible. Enjoy split-screen couch co-op or online cross-platform play with a single game copy.

To play online, your friend downloads the free "Split Fiction - Friend's Pass" from their preferred digital marketplace after the game's release (March 6th). They'll need an invite from the game owner to play. This system mirrors Hazelight's approach in It Takes Two and A Way Out. The Friend's Pass is solely for playing with a game owner; independent play isn't permitted.

Split Fiction is a two-player action-adventure where sci-fi and fantasy writers are transported into their own creations. Players collaborate to overcome challenges and puzzles across diverse sci-fi and fantasy environments, including riding futuristic motorcycles, shape-shifting, and engaging in minigames like sand-fish riding and drone-powered waterskiing.
