How Does Split Fiction's Friend's Pass Work?
Split Fiction is designed exclusively for co-op play, with no single-player mode. You can enjoy it in couch co-op split-screen mode or through online co-op with just one copy of the game. What's more, it supports cross-platform play, allowing you to team up with friends regardless of their gaming platform.
To play online with a friend, have them download the "Split Fiction - Friend's Pass" from their preferred digital marketplace starting March 6. This pass is free and enables your friend to play the entire game with you at no additional cost, provided you send them an invite. This system mirrors the approach Hazelight used for It Takes Two and A Way Out. The only catch? Your friend needs to pair up with someone who owns the game to play.
What Is Split Fiction?
Split Fiction is a two-player co-op action-adventure game where you and a partner control a sci-fi writer and a fantasy writer who are drawn into their own fictional universes. Together, you'll need to collaborate to combat enemies and solve puzzles across levels inspired by both genres. Imagine racing on Tron-style motorcycles and navigating gravity plates in one level, then transforming into fantasy creatures in an enchanted forest in the next.
The game also features portals to "side stories," which are essentially minigames. You might find yourself riding a "sand fish" reminiscent of Dune through a desert or water skiing behind a drone across the sea.
