Is Splitgate still in Beta or is Splitgate out of beta? Red below to find out everything you need to know about the Splitgate beta.
Splitgate is a first-person arena shooter developed and published by 1047 Games. This fast-paced shooter is a multiplayer-only game that is set to be free to play. The game looks as though its main inspiration comes from a combination of the Sci-Fi combat in halo and wormhole portals from the Portal series. This game is incredibly familiar yet original at the same time, with similar mechanics to Halo, with an Unreal Tournament vibe running through.
Along with portal combat and grindable challenges, Splitgate brings loads of customizable characters, competitive leaderboards with a ranking system, over 15 casual/ competitive game modes, and more than 20 maps, each with a unique aesthetic.
Is Splitgate Still In Beta? When Does The Splitgate Beta End?
Yes, Splitgate is still in beta and can be downloaded and played right now.
The latest news is that Splitgate will remain in open beta for the foreseeable future. The unexpected popularity of the game (which enjoyed over 10 million downloads in 30 days) led to 1047 Games, the developers of Splitgate, pushing back its launch until August. The Splitgate beta has been extended, and the game is currently in Season 0 of its beta phase.
So you should waste no time in jumping in and experience different arenas such as a research facility inside a volcano, an underwater luxury hotel, and an alien crash site!
Is Splitgate Cross Platform?
Yes, Splitgate features cross play functionality, allowing you to play with your friends no matter if they are on a console or PC. Splitgate is also bringing something I haven’t seen since Goldeneye 64 – Big head mode! With big head mode, you can’t miss but Splitgate has tonnes of interesting casual and competitive game modes that are going to have you fragging like a maniac.
