According to 1047 Games' Lead Writer, Nate Dern (via the PlayStation Blog), the Open Alpha will feature crossplay and a brand-new 24-player mode: Multi-Team Portal Warfare. Three teams of eight will battle it out on Splitgate's largest map yet, experimenting with new weapons, perks, and equipment.

The core gameplay revolves around the series' signature portal mechanics, allowing for incredible outplays and trick shots. While the sequel introduces new classes (or factions) with unique abilities, the beloved portal mechanic remains central. Dern emphasizes that player feedback has heavily influenced the game's development, aiming to create a defining FPS experience.
