Suit up and portal into the action as an elite Ace in Splitgate 2, a 4v4 free-to-play shooter redefining what it takes to be #1.

Multiplayer first-person combat and portal-hopping movement is back in Splitgate 2 - now bigger and better than ever. Three unique factions grant players the ability to choose and progress based on their preferred gameplay style or competitive strategies, while a large variety of arenas, weapons and modes keep things fresh.

Choose your faction, customize your weapons, master your portal skills, and play with friends as you compete for glory in a galactic arena.

Ready to step into the spotlight? Eager to hear 100,000 fans screaming your name? Seeking fame and admiration? Then join the Sol Splitgate League, where the future is bright–it takes a team to bring home victory, but only one person can top the leaderboard.

Play together. Stand alone.

1047 Games portals its way to Germany for Gamescom 2024 with the game’s first public playable demo at the Splitgate 2 pavilion (Hall 9, booth #A-050), but fans around the world can join in the fun with Splitgate 2’s “Gamescom at home” closed alpha going live today through Aug. 25. An eye-popping, action-packed new gameplay trailer was released today for fans looking to join the 4v4 action which you can check out above.

On the heels of Splitgate 2’s gameplay livestream reveal last week, the colorful faction shooter is making a big splash in Germany as it opens the doors to fans with a fully decked-out booth promising the most immersive Splitgate experience to date. But players don’t need to be at Gamescom to join in the fun: those looking to check out the alpha from home can register for the chance to do so by signing up on the game’s Steam page.  

The closed alpha consists of two thrilling modes - Hotzone and Team Deathmatch - across three different maps (Ozone, Zenith and Frontier) and grants players an early look at each of its three factions. There is no time or match limit during the alpha, and it is free to play.

Key Features:

  • Dominate the arena with the ultimate tool–a portal gun. Turn the tide of battle with multi-dimensional combat through portals to flank your foe, or utilize futuristic physics to launch yourself for a jaw-dropping aerial kill.
  • This is the future of Splitgate, bringing fast-paced portal gunplay with objective-based game modes and distinctive futuristic maps. Grow your skills as you unlock new capabilities for each Faction, upgrade your weapons, and maximize your loadout potential.
  • Dash around the battlefield as the agile Aeros, control the chaos as the tactical and time-manipulating Meridian, or run in guns blazing with Sabrask’s raw power. Utilize dynamic abilities and diverse weapons to your advantage and playstyle. Mix and match factions to build the ultimate team.
  • Recruit your friends and compete for the respect of the entire galaxy. Take control of the Hotzone while your friends hold off enemies portalling in from all sides. Stand together and steamroll your opponents to win the match and claim victory.

Download the free Splitgate 2 Companion app (iOS/Android), allowing you can delve into the series’ universe through collectibles that will earn you in-game rewards at launch, quizzes and even an entire comic series. The first issue of Splitgate: The Games We Play, a five-issue comic book series exploring the backstory of the characters is available today - with further issues releasing monthly. 

Splitgate 2 is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) in 2025.
