Play the Splitgate 2 Open Beta Free beginning on May 22May 19, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsThe Open Beta starts on May 22nd, and will stay live through the launch of the full game this summer. The Open Beta has way more than our last Alpha this past February, and it still doesn’t have everything that will be in the full version of the game at launch (Splitfam, keep that quiet–all shall be revealed soon). For now, we want to tell you about some of the exciting new features in the Open Beta. INTRODUCING THE LAB, OUR NEW MAP CREATOR The Lab is what we’re calling our brand new creative mode, where you can create your very own maps and game modes. Our goal with The Lab is simple: we want anyone to be able to jump in (alone or with friends) and build something awesome—no experience required. At the same time, we’ve built in the depth and flexibility for power users to bring even their wildest ideas to life. We took inspiration from Unreal Engine and Halo’s Forge, and how fun and possible it was to make something really cool with your friends. In fact, Halo Reach was a big reason our CEO and many of our level designers originally got into game development! We hope to bring that level of creativity to a new generation of gamers. In The Lab, you’ll be able to collaborate in real time on maps with your friends (up to 16 players at a time), and you’ll of course be able to share your maps with the world. The Lab has a variety of blank canvas templates for you to begin building your maps, as well as scalable geometric shapes, prefabricated SSL map items, environmental props, and other gameplay objects to bring your vision to life. And just like we hope you start working in The Lab, we’re going to keep working on it, too. We've been building The Lab with the community and for the community. We have lots of content coming to the map creator system post launch. We’re planning to continue to support it and add to it for years to come based on community feedback and requests. So, go check out The Lab and let us know what you think. We’re going to feature the coolest, most fun, and most creative maps that the community creates, so don’t hold back. We can’t wait to see what you create. And for the real map making fiends out there, you can apply to be a Splitgate MVP. We have a map creator category! Want to see a glimpse of what’s possible? Take a look at Eclipse, an incredible community-made map by UneeQ. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45110560/57052a3287e518dc8fc3828a9a686b0fd6c50dc0.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45110560/1f9952dda6a6076dce5d2acc91f976636af088d6.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45110560/012fdad53b0c5d01310a58b425437cd75f0353bd.jpg (Full disclosure: The Lab’s functionality is still in Beta, so maps created during Beta could be impacted by changes to the mode later on. We currently don’t anticipate that any major issues will arise, but we want to flag this as a possibility as we continue to update and improve the map creator system.)

It was a massive success, thanks to all of you—especially those of you who filled out the feedback survey or sent us your thoughts on Discord. We’re already hard at work making improvements based on what we learned, but we also want to take a moment to celebrate what went well. Across the board, the feedback we got from players was that this was a big improvement from our Closed Alpha last summer. Take a look at this infographic: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45110560/c8c42be92defe02e829b1b63b6e0cb9e40b7cb60.jpg We know there is still more work to do, but we’re feeling confident we’re headed in the right direction—and that’s thanks to all of you. We’ll share more details as soon as we can, but for now, just mark your calendars for May. To be safe, maybe just take the whole month off now? We promise we’ll share the exact dates as soon as we can. You’re not going to want to miss it. The Open Beta is going to have way more than the Open Alpha. Way more.

A preview session held a few weeks ago took us through every mode on offer in the alpha running today through March 2, and while I couldn't stay for the whole thing, I stuck around long enough to fall in love with Hotzone, 1047's take on King of the Hill... Read more.Play the Splitgate 2 Open Alpha NowFeb 27, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHey, Splitfam. We’re doing an Open Alpha preview of the work we’ve done on Splitgate 2, available to everyone for four days from Feb. 27 to March 2. Come play with us! This is your first chance to check out our new Multi-Team Portal Warfare, 8v8v8 battles of colossal proportions set on a massive map. Plus, we’ve got new arena maps, new weapons, new gear, and hundreds of improvements based on community feedback. Anyone with a Steam account, a PS5, or an Xbox Series X|S can register and play—for free, as always. Read on for more details about what will be included in the Open Alpha. MULTI-TEAM PORTAL WARFARE ON A MASSIVE NEW MAP Multi-Team Portal Warfare is an all new 8v8v8 experience. Game modes include Multi-Team Hotzone, Multi-Team Domination, and Multi-Team Deathmatch. To fit our biggest modes yet, we had to make our biggest map yet: Glacier. It’s 20 times bigger than any of our arena maps. For the lore wolves out there, you might notice that the skybox doesn’t quite look like anything in our solar system—be on the lookout for other clues about what’s to come. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45110560/454dfbe6b60d3f34865d2d714990ccc7bcdf188e.jpg NEW ARENA MODE: SPLITBALL Splitball is one of two new arena modes we’re debuting in this Open Alpha, joining our other core modes, Hotzone and Team Deathmatch. Splitball is a twist on classic arena modes like Capture the Flag and Oddball. To win, you play offense and defense at the same time, scrambling to capture and return Splitballs that spawn in neutral locations back to your base, while trying to steal Splitballs from the enemy base—and preventing them from stealing yours. For OG Splitgate players, take note: this mode is completely different from the Splitball in the first Splitgate. Same name, but a completely reimagined mode to be sportier and better than ever. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45110560/b85de4db6b17e052e3423c8390333178c6b40731.jpg NEW ARENA MODE: FIRECRACKER Firecracker is our other new arena mode. As we were developing this mode internally, the working title was simply “Assault.” Firecracker was inspired by Call of Duty’s Search and Destroy, but with the addition of respawns and other changes. The end result combines the thrilling strategy of a round-based, Attack/Defense shooter with Splitgate style. Teams take turns attempting to successfully plant and defend the Firecracker, resulting in an explosion of fireworks. Heads up: if you make it to a final tiebreaker round, both teams are on offense and defense at the same time. In our lore, this mode has its origin as a military training exercise for the Sabrask faction. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45110560/f31d66afef165609c887b597443e28aa0cc5a1b5.jpg MORE NEW WEAPONS Our first Closed Alpha had four weapons per faction; this upcoming Open Alpha will have eight weapons per faction (five primary, three secondary) for a total of twenty-four weapons to experiment with in your loadouts.
