The rise of couch co-op games has been a fascinating trend in recent years, and Hazelight Studios has consistently delivered top-notch experiences in this genre. Their latest title, Split Fiction, continues to spotlight cooperative play. Here's a detailed look at whether you can enjoy Split Fiction solo.
Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?
As with all Hazelight Studios' previous releases, Split Fiction emphasizes cooperative gameplay, whether it's through online or local couch co-op. Unfortunately, this means that solo players won't be able to experience the game on their own. There's no AI companion to assist, and even if you have multiple controllers, the game's precise timing and coordination requirements make solo play nearly impossible.
However, there's a convenient solution for those looking for a partner. The Friend's Pass for Split Fiction supports both local and online co-op and is cross-platform compatible. This means that players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can team up, as long as one player owns a copy of the game.

How Does the Friend's Pass for Split Fiction Work?
If you own Split Fiction and are seeking a partner to play with, you can invite someone from any platform to join the fun. Here's how it works:
- Own Split Fiction on any platform.
- Request that your partner download the Friend's Pass on their preferred platform.
- Send an invite to your friend for your session.
- Play the entire game together.
The Friend's Pass is compatible across platforms, so whether you're connected through PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or via Steam, Epic Games Store, or the EA app on PC, you can easily find a co-op partner. The EA Friends list also offers another avenue to send invitations.
Hazelight's consumer-friendly approach continues to be a highlight in the gaming industry. For those unsure about purchasing Split Fiction, the Friend's Pass offers a great way to try out the co-op experience before making a decision.
That's everything you need to know about playing Split Fiction solo.
Split Fiction is set to release on March 6 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
