How Does Split Fiction's Friend's Pass Work?
A defining feature of Split Fiction is its mandatory co-op gameplay; there's no option for single-player. You can enjoy the game in couch co-op split-screen mode on one display, or you can team up with a friend online using just one copy of the game. This cross-platform feature means you can play with someone on a different console or PC.
To play online with a friend, have them download "Split Fiction - Friend's Pass" from their preferred digital marketplace starting March 6. This pass is free, and after you send an invite, your friend can join you in the game without any additional cost. Hazelight implemented a similar system in their previous titles, It Takes Two and A Way Out. The only condition is that your friend can't play without teaming up with someone who owns the full game.
What Is Split Fiction?
Split Fiction is a two-player co-op action adventure game where you play as a pair of writers—one specializing in sci-fi and the other in fantasy—who are drawn into their own fictional worlds. Players must collaborate to overcome enemies and solve puzzles in environments inspired by their respective genres. One moment you might be racing on Tron-style motorcycles and navigating gravity plates, and the next, you could be shape-shifting into mythical creatures in an enchanted forest.
The game also features portals to "side stories," which are essentially minigames. You could find yourself riding a "sand fish" reminiscent of Dune across a desert, or water skiing behind a drone over the sea.
