How Does Split Fiction’s Friend’s Pass Work?
One of the unique features of Split Fiction is that it's exclusively a co-op game, with no single-player option. You can enjoy it in couch co-op split-screen mode on a single display or via online co-op with just one copy of the game. This feature also supports cross-platform play, so you can team up with friends across different consoles or PC platforms.
To play online with a friend, have them download “Split Fiction - Friend’s Pass” from their preferred digital marketplace after the game’s release on March 6. This pass is free, allowing your friend to join you in the game at no additional cost, as long as you send them an invite. Hazelight Studios implemented a similar system in their previous games, It Takes Two and A Way Out. The only condition is that your friend needs to pair up with someone who owns the full game to play.
What Is Split Fiction?
Split Fiction is a two-player co-op action-adventure game where you and a friend control a pair of writers—one specializing in sci-fi and the other in fantasy—who are drawn into their own fictional universes. Together, you'll battle enemies and solve puzzles across levels inspired by both genres. One moment you might be racing on Tron-like motorcycles over gravity plates, and the next, you could be transforming into mythical creatures in an enchanted forest.
The game also features "side stories" accessed through portals within the levels. These are essentially minigames, such as riding a "sand fish" reminiscent of Dune or water skiing behind a drone across the ocean.
