How Does Split Fiction's Friend's Pass Work?
A standout feature of Split Fiction is its mandatory co-op gameplay. There is no single-player option, so you'll need to team up with a friend. You can enjoy couch co-op split-screen mode on a single display or play online with just one copy of the game. The beauty of it is that it supports cross-platform play, allowing you to team up with friends across different consoles or PC platforms.
To play online with a friend, simply have them download the "Split Fiction - Friend's Pass" from their preferred digital marketplace once the game is released on March 6. This pass is free and enables your friend to join you in the game at no additional cost, after you send them an invite. This system mirrors what Hazelight did with It Takes Two and A Way Out. The only condition is that your friend who hasn't paid for the game must play alongside someone who has purchased it.
What Is Split Fiction?
Split Fiction is a two-player action-adventure game where you and a partner play as a sci-fi writer and a fantasy writer who find themselves immersed in their own fictional worlds. Together, you'll need to cooperate to battle enemies and solve puzzles in environments inspired by science fiction and fantasy. Imagine one level where you're racing on Tron-style motorcycles and dealing with gravity plates, and another where you're transforming into mythical creatures in an enchanted forest.
Additionally, levels feature portals to "side stories," which are essentially minigames. You might find yourself riding a "sand fish" akin to those from Dune as it navigates the desert or water skiing behind a drone across the sea.
