How Does Split Fiction’s Friend’s Pass Work?

One of the standout features of *Split Fiction* is its mandatory co-op mode; there's no single-player option. You can enjoy the game in couch co-op split-screen mode on a single display or through online co-op with just one copy of the game. This feature supports cross-platform play, allowing you to team up with friends on different consoles or PC platforms.

To play online with a friend, have them download "Split Fiction - Friend’s Pass" from their preferred digital marketplace after the game's release on March 6. This pass is free and enables your friend to play the entire game with you at no additional cost, provided you send them an invite. This system mirrors the approach Hazelight used for *It Takes Two* and *A Way Out*. The only condition is that your friend needs to pair up with someone who has purchased the game to play.

What Is Split Fiction?

Play

*Split Fiction* is a two-player co-op action-adventure game where you play as a pair of writers—one specializing in sci-fi and the other in fantasy—who find themselves drawn into their own fictional worlds. Players must collaborate to overcome enemies and solve puzzles in environments inspired by both genres. One level might have you racing on Tron-style motorcycles and navigating gravity plates, while another could involve shape-shifting into fantasy characters in an enchanted forest.

The game also features portals to "side stories," which are essentially minigames. These could include riding a "sand fish" through a desert reminiscent of *Dune* or water skiing behind a drone across the sea.
