The Friend's Pass: How It Works:

Split Fiction is strictly a two-player co-op experience; no solo play is possible. Playable via split-screen couch co-op or online cross-platform co-op, requiring only one game purchase.

Your friend simply downloads the free "Split Fiction - Friend's Pass" from their preferred digital marketplace on March 6th after receiving an invite from you. This pass grants full access to the game while playing with the game owner. This system mirrors Hazelight's approach in It Takes Two and A Way Out. Note: The Friend's Pass requires a connection to a game owner.

What is Split Fiction?

Split Fiction plunges two writers—one sci-fi, one fantasy—into their own creations. Players collaborate to overcome challenges and puzzles across science fiction and fantasy-themed levels. Expect diverse gameplay, from futuristic motorcycle rides to enchanted forest transformations. Levels also feature "side stories," offering minigames such as sand-fish riding and drone-powered waterskiing.
