Couch co-op games have surged in popularity, with Hazelight Studios leading the charge. Their latest title, Split Fiction, emphasizes cooperative gameplay. Here’s whether you can experience Split Fiction solo.

Is Solo Play Available in Split Fiction?

Like other Hazelight Studios titles, Split Fiction focuses on teamwork, requiring a partner for online or couch co-op. Solo play isn’t supported, as there’s no AI companion to assist, and managing multiple controllers simultaneously is impractical due to the game’s demand for precise timing and coordination.

For those seeking a co-op partner, the Friend’s Pass offers a solution. It supports both local and online play and is cross-platform, allowing friends on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC to join if one player owns Split Fiction.

How the Friend’s Pass Works in Split Fiction

Own Split Fiction and want to play with a friend? You can invite someone on any platform to join using the Friend’s Pass. Here’s how to set it up:

• Own Split Fiction on any platform
• Request that your partner download the Friend’s Pass on their chosen platform
• Send an invite for your session to the friend
• Play the entire game together.

The Friend’s Pass is cross-platform, enabling connections via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Steam, Epic Games Store, or the EA app on PC. You can also send invites through the EA Friends list for seamless co-op play.

Hazelight’s Friend’s Pass is a standout feature, making it easy for friends to try Split Fiction in co-op before purchasing, enhancing the game’s accessibility and appeal.

That’s all you need to know about playing Split Fiction solo.

Split Fiction releases on March 6 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
