Can You Play Split Fiction Solo? Answered

by Violet Mar 18,2025

Hazelight Studios, known for its fantastic couch co-op games, has released its latest title, Split Fiction. A key question on many gamers' minds: can you play Split Fiction solo? The short answer is no.

Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?

Like previous Hazelight games, Split Fiction is built entirely around cooperative gameplay, both online and via couch co-op. There's no single-player mode, no AI companion, and the intricate gameplay requires precise timing and coordination between two players. Attempting solo play, even with multiple controllers, would prove nearly impossible.

Fortunately, Hazelight provides a solution: the Friend's Pass. This allows a friend to join your game, regardless of platform (PlayStation, Xbox, or PC). Here's how it works:

  1. Own Split Fiction on any platform.
  2. Have your friend download the Friend's Pass on their platform.
  3. Send them an invite to your session.
  4. Enjoy the game together! The Friend's Pass works across all platforms and even through EA Friends lists.

This generous system makes Split Fiction accessible to a wider audience, offering a risk-free way for friends to experience the game's cooperative gameplay before purchasing their own copy.

Split Fiction launches March 6th on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
