Hazelight Studios, known for their excellent couch co-op games, has released their latest title, Split Fiction. A key question on many gamers' minds is whether this game can be played solo. The answer, unfortunately, is no.
Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?
Like previous Hazelight Studios games, Split Fiction heavily emphasizes cooperative gameplay, both online and via couch co-op. There's no single-player mode, no AI companion, and the intricate timing and coordination required make solo play practically impossible, even with multiple controllers.
The Split Fiction Friend's Pass: Your Co-op Solution
However, Hazelight offers a convenient solution: the Friend's Pass. This allows a friend to join your game, regardless of platform (PlayStation, Xbox, or PC). Cross-platform play is fully supported. Only one person needs to own the game; the other can download the free Friend's Pass.

How the Friend's Pass Works
Here's how to utilize the Friend's Pass:
- Own Split Fiction on any supported platform.
- Have your friend download the Friend's Pass on their platform.
- Send them an invite to your game session.
- Enjoy the game together! Invites can be sent through various platforms, including PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Steam, Epic Games Store, the EA app, and even the EA Friends list.
This generous system makes Split Fiction accessible to more players, allowing friends to experience the co-op gameplay without needing to purchase the game themselves.
Split Fiction launches March 6th on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
