Overview

  • The new battle royale map spans five interconnected biomes linked by portals to enable rapid movement and strategic positioning.
  • Matches support 60 players divided into 15 squads of four, with mid-match events like portal shutdowns to force teams to adapt.
  • Splitgate2 is available for free on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
  • Ian Proulx clarified that his “Make FPS Great Again” hat was a literal critique of stale shooters and not a political statement.
  • The update introduced an $80 skin bundle that drew criticism over pricing, and early matches suffered XP tracking glitches that 1047 Games is fixing.
