by Rainier on May 22, 2025 @ 6:29 p.m. PDT

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 opens the portal to the Splitgate 2 final beta today, welcoming players looking to ramp up their skills ahead of the game’s official launch on PC (Steam and Epic Game Store), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS4 and PS5.

Splitgate 2’s final open beta showcases the signature fast-action gunplay across a variety of modes the game will offer at launch. 1047 Games promises “one more massive surprise” when they unveil the final component to the game on launch day and the game officially goes 1.0. Player progression will not reset after the beta, so stay locked in because there’s even more on the way. 

Fans looking to hone their preferred playstyles across the many game modes offered in the open beta can get a glimpse of what’s available in the above incredibly badass trailer.

The open beta will be live through Splitgate 2’s 1.0 launch and is FULLY LOADED, offering fans a deep look at what the 1047 team has been hard at work on since 2022, but it’s just the start of what is in store for 1.0 launch day and beyond.

Here’s a look at what’s live today:

  • Debuting today is The Lab, Splitgate 2’s new map creator which allows players to design their very own maps and game modes. Start from scratch and build something awesome, no experience required. 
  • Takedown and Four New Simulation Maps - Takedown is BACK. OG players loved playing Takedown on Splitgate’s Simulation maps. Compete to wipe out the other team before any players can respawn into the game - but there’s a catch: killing makes your team’s respawns shorter, and dying makes your team’s respawns longer. The first team to have all enemy players down at the same time wins. 
  • Stadium 2.0 - An update of the fan-favorite arena map debuts today, joining Bypass, Eden, Frontier, Ozone and Zenith. 
  • New 24-Player Onslaught Maps: Drought and Fracture - These two giant new additions join Glacier for the game’s “Onslaught” modes (previously called Multi-team Portal Warfare in the last Alpha).
  • Three More New Maps during Beta - That’s not all. Three more new maps will join Splitgate 2 between now and launch…
  • New Power Weapons - For the first time, in the open beta you’ll get to play with the Borealis, a new showstopping power weapon from the Meridian faction. 
  • Hunt the Devs Returns - For those who didn’t get a chance to participate in 1047’s “Hunt the Devs” event during the Open Alpha, it’s coming back. This is another opportunity to earn an exclusive skin without paying a dime.
  • How it works: during any match, kill a 1047 dev wearing the special flaming disco ball skin, and you’ll receive the corresponding “Dev Killer” skin for the faction they’re playing. Kill devs playing the Aeros, Sabrask, and Meridian factions and you’ll collect all three.

Locked in yet? More than 25 weapons will be available in the open beta, arming fans with a sampling of the best Splitgate 2 has to offer, with more on the way at and post-launch. Starting today you can check out the stylish and powerful Goliath Revolver, the devastating Charger Shotgun, the appropriately-named FUBAR triple rocket launcher and many more.

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.
