Hazelight's Split Fiction: First Game with Crossplay Support

Hazelight Studios continues to distinguish itself in the gaming world with its innovative approach to co-operative play. Their unique feature, where only one player needs to purchase the game for two to enjoy it together, remains a rare gem in the industry. This "Friend's Pass" system has helped Hazelight carve out a distinct niche. However, one notable limitation in their earlier titles was the absence of crossplay, a feature that seemed inherently suited to their co-op focus.

Exciting news for fans: Hazelight's upcoming game, Split Fiction, will introduce crossplay, allowing players on different platforms to connect and play together seamlessly. The developers have officially confirmed this addition, ensuring that the Friend's Pass system will still be in effect. This means that while only one copy of the game needs to be purchased, both players will require an EA account to participate.

In a further move to engage the community, Hazelight has announced the availability of a demo version for Split Fiction. This demo offers players the opportunity to experience the game's co-op dynamics firsthand. Importantly, any progress made in the demo can be transferred to the full game, adding value to the trial experience.

Split Fiction is set to explore a range of diverse environments, but at its heart, it will delve into the intricacies of human relationships, focusing on simple yet profound connections. The game is scheduled for release on March 6 and will be accessible on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, promising an immersive and emotionally engaging experience for players.
