Overview
- The beta servers will go offline on December 4, ending the current season, active battle passes, and seasonal rank progress.
- 1047 Games has not given a relaunch date, stating only that the full release will arrive later in December after previously signaling a 2026 window.
- Core systems were rebuilt: factions were removed, abilities became power-ups, roundless modes like King of the Hill, Domination, and Team Deathmatch returned, Classic Arena was added, and new maps, weapons, menu overhauls, controller tuning, portal overloading, and EMPs were introduced.
- The relaunch follows widespread criticism of aggressive monetization, including an $80 cosmetic bundle later reduced to $40 alongside broader store price cuts.
- The troubled rollout led to layoffs and plans to close Splitgate 1 servers, later offset with peer-to-peer support, as SteamDB tracked a drop from roughly 26,000 peak concurrent players at launch to only a few hundred within three months.
