Overview

• 1047 Games announced it is rolling Splitgate 2 back to beta status to rebuild core mechanics after acknowledging the game launched prematurely.
• The developer confirmed layoffs are underway to reallocate resources toward overhauling progression systems, adding more portals to maps, simplifying monetization, and refocusing on classic game modes.
• Original Splitgate servers will shut down next month in a cost-saving measure, with offline or peer-to-peer match options under exploration.
• Splitgate 2 will remain playable during the rework and will still receive the planned Chapter 3 update alongside ongoing bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements.
• 1047 Games plans extensive community engagement through playtests and surveys to guide the rebuild before the sequel’s return in early 2026.
