The world of couch co-op games has seen a notable rise in recent years, with Hazelight Studios leading the charge with their engaging titles. Their latest project, *Split Fiction*, continues to emphasize the joy of cooperative gameplay. Here's what you need to know about playing *Split Fiction* solo.
Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?
Like all previous releases from Hazelight Studios, *Split Fiction* is designed with co-op at its core, whether you're playing online or enjoying couch co-op. Unfortunately, this means that solo play is not an option. There's no AI companion to assist, and even with multiple controllers, the game's need for precise timing and coordination makes it nearly impossible to play alone.
However, if you're eager to dive into *Split Fiction* but need a partner, there's a perfect solution. The Friend’s Pass enables both local and online co-op, and it's cross-platform compatible. This means players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can team up, as long as one player owns the game.

If you own *Split Fiction* and are looking for a co-op partner, you can easily invite someone to join you. Here's how it works:
- Own *Split Fiction* on any platform.
- Ask your partner to download the Friend’s Pass on their preferred platform.
- Send an invite for your session to your friend.
- Enjoy playing the entire game together.
The Friend’s Pass is compatible across platforms, so whether you're connected via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or through Steam, Epic Games Store, or the EA app on PC, you can team up with friends. Even the EA Friends list can be used to send invites.
Hazelight Studios' consumer-friendly approach with the Friend’s Pass is a highlight in the gaming community. It's an excellent way for friends to experience *Split Fiction* in co-op before deciding to purchase the game themselves.
That’s all you need to know about the possibility of playing *Split Fiction* solo.
Split Fiction releases on March 6 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
