Can You Play Split Fiction Solo? Answered

by Charlotte Mar 17,2025

Hazelight Studios, known for their fantastic couch co-op games, has released their latest title, Split Fiction. But can you play Split Fiction alone? The short answer is no. Like previous Hazelight games, Split Fiction is built entirely around cooperative gameplay, either online or locally with a friend on the couch. There's no single-player mode or AI companion to help you through the game. The intricate puzzles and precise timing require two players for a smooth experience.

However, Hazelight offers a clever solution for those seeking a partner: the Friend's Pass. This feature allows for both local and online co-op, and it's cross-platform compatible! Whether your friends play on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC, as long as one person owns Split Fiction, they can all join in the fun.

  1. Own Split Fiction on any platform.
  2. Have your friend download the Friend's Pass on their platform of choice.
  3. Send them an invitation to your game session.
  4. Enjoy the game together!

The Friend's Pass works seamlessly across PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA app on PC. Even using your EA Friends list is an option. This generous system makes it easy for friends to experience the cooperative gameplay before buying the full game.

So, while you can't play Split Fiction solo, the Friend's Pass makes finding a partner and enjoying this unique co-op experience incredibly accessible. Grab a friend and get ready for adventure!

Split Fiction releases March 6th on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
