Splitgate Reboots as Arena Reloaded, Merging Sequel Into a Single Live Game

The relaunch is framed as a player-driven reset following the sequel’s troubled rollout.

Overview

  • Splitgate: Arena Reloaded is live now as a free-to-play release on PC via Steam, Epic, and Microsoft Store, plus PlayStation and Xbox.
  • The update folds Splitgate 2 into the original framework, restoring portal-based arena combat while unifying progression and play.
  • New and reworked arenas include Abyss, Oasis, Karman Station, Terra 13, and Hammerhead, with a broader rotation highlighted on console store listings.
  • Modes span team and free-for-all options, with a Classic Arena playlist that uses fixed assault rifle and carbine loadouts.
  • Early community feedback skews positive on Xbox, though SteamDB shows launch concurrency under 1,000 players on Steam.
