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.

Splitgate 2 officially launches today on PC, PS4, PS55, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, and  developer/publisher 1047 Games surprise-unveiled an enormous Battle Royale mode, now playable as part of Splitgate 2’s official launch.

Splitgate 2’s surprise Battle Royale mode, Splitgate: Battle Royale, features:

  • 60-Player Showdowns: Each match challenges 15 teams of four to work together while shutting down the competition to emerge from no-holds-barred firefights as the lone winner.
  • An Expansive, Interconnected Map: Matches are hosted on Split Worlds, a gigantic colosseum with five unique biomes linked by massive World Portals allowing teams to get the jump on their competition.
  • Choose where to drop in across Drought’s scorching desert, Glacier’s slick snowscape, Inferno’s active volcano, or Fracture’s cluster of asteroids. After landing, players who stay in the match long enough will gain access to a fifth biome – the central area of Sanctum’s foreboding ruins, which offers special, powerful loot for those who can survive sparring to get it.
  • Strategy Shifting Events: Mid-match scenarios challenge teams to think quick and adapt even quicker, like the Portal EMP Event’s shutdown of portaling or the Drop Frenzy Event’s tide-turning upswing in the frequency of Air Drops.
  • Immense Variety and Replayability: With lootable chests, chances for eliminated players to return to the fray, and events preventing matches from playing out the same way twice, Splitgate: Battle Royale revitalizes the classic thrills of battle royale with Splitgate 2’s distinctly thrilling portal-based FPS action.

In addition to Splitgate: Battle Royale, the launch of Splitgate 2 also brings the debut of:

  • All-new maps: Academy, Grit, Sanctum and Simulation Hectic
  • A new water-themed map creator template
  • A hard-hitting new power weapon, the Gravitas shotgun

With plans to also implement mastery challenges and ranked mode in the coming weeks, as well as new maps, POI changes, map reskins, and other surprises, Splitgate 2's remarkable offering will continue to grow as 1047 advances Splitgate 2’s post-launch content roadmap.

“Splitgate 2 is the realization of what we always wanted the original Splitgate to be,” said Ian Proulx, co-founder and CEO of 1047 Games. “When Nick and I started 1047 Games, we had nothing but a really good idea and a small, rough playable demo of the idea I had created as a class project. We are beyond excited for today’s launch and we hope our fans love it too. This is still just the beginning - we have a lot of plans for content post-launch.” 

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.

Splitgate 2 is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
