The rise of couch co-op games has been a fascinating development in recent years, and Hazelight Studios has consistently delivered some of the best experiences in this genre. Their latest offering, *Split Fiction*, continues to put co-op play in the spotlight. But can you enjoy *Split Fiction* on your own? Let's dive in.
Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?
As with all of Hazelight Studios' previous titles, *Split Fiction* is designed with cooperation in mind, whether it's online or via couch co-op. Unfortunately, this means solo play is off the table. There's no AI companion to assist you, and even if you have multiple controllers, the game's need for precise timing and coordination makes solo progression nearly impossible.
However, if you're eager to play but lack a partner, there's a handy solution. The Friend's Pass, available for both local and online co-op, is also cross-platform. This means that friends on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can join in the fun, as long as one player owns *Split Fiction*.
How Does the Friend’s Pass for Split Fiction Work?
- Own *Split Fiction* on any platform.
- Ask your partner to download the Friend’s Pass on their preferred platform.
- Send an invite to your friend for your session.
- Enjoy the entire game together.
The Friend’s Pass works across platforms, so whether you're connected via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or through Steam, Epic Games Store, or the EA app on PC, you can find a partner for this new adventure. You can even use the EA Friends list to send an invite.
Hazelight's consumer-friendly approach is one of the best aspects of modern gaming. If your friends are hesitant about trying *Split Fiction*, the Friend’s Pass offers them a risk-free way to experience the game in co-op before making a purchase.
That's all you need to know about playing *Split Fiction* solo. Remember, *Split Fiction* is set to release on March 6 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
