What Awaits in the Splitgate 2 Open Alpha?

According to 1047 Games' Lead Writer, Nate Dern (via the PlayStation Blog), the Open Alpha features crossplay and a brand-new 24-player mode: Multi-Team Portal Warfare. Three teams of eight battle across Splitgate's largest map yet, experimenting with new weapons, perks, and equipment.

The core gameplay revolves around the series' signature portal mechanics, allowing for creative maneuvers and trick shots. While new character classes (or factions) with unique abilities are introduced, the portal system remains central. Dern emphasizes that player feedback has significantly shaped the game's development.

Splitgate 2's Open Alpha launches February 27th on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
