Splitgate 2 Open Alpha Build Available on Steam, PS5 & Xbox Series X|S

[T0@st]

Hey, Splitfam. We're doing an Open Alpha preview of the work we've done on Splitgate 2, available to everyone for four days from Feb. 27 to March 2. Come play with us! This is your first chance to check out our new Multi-Team Portal Warfare, 8v8v8 battles of colossal proportions set on a massive map. Plus, we've got new arena maps, new weapons, new gear, and hundreds of improvements based on community feedback. Anyone with a Steam account, a PS5, or an Xbox Series X|S can register and play—for free, as always. Read on for more details about what will be included in the Open Alpha.

Portals Change Everything
Portal into the action as an elite Ace in Splitgate 2, the only free-to-play shooter where you can teleport across the map to outsmart your opponents. Team up, customize weapons, and master portaling skills as you compete for glory in epic showdowns. This is the future of Splitgate, bringing fast-paced portal gunplay with objective-based game modes, distinctive new maps, and a wild collection of weapons. Dominate the competition with the ultimate tool: a portal gun. Flank your foes and turn the tide of combat by portaling across the map, or defy gravity to launch yourself for jaw-dropping aerial kills. Recruit your friends and compete for the respect of the entire galaxy. Take control of the Hotzone while your friends hold off enemies portaling in from all sides. Stand together and steamroll your opponents to win the match and claim victory.



LISTENING TO THE COMMUNITY

• Thanks to all of the community feedback we've gotten from playtests and gameplay we've shared online, we've made a litany of improvements to every single aspect of the game.
• We heard that you wanted more action, so we made respawns shorter and rounds longer.
• We also heard that you wanted more portaling options, so we added more portal walls to our existing maps, and added new portal opportunities like a Launch Portal, a combination of a portal wall and a launch pad that will send you flying.
• To learn more about how seriously we take community feedback, you can read more about the changes in this message from Ian Proulx, cofounder and CEO of 1047 Games, or watch this Dev Talk from Ian and our other co-founder, Nicholas Bagamian.

READY TO PLAY?

• Thanks for reading, Splitfam. Remember, even with all of these new updates and features, this is just the beginning. The Open Alpha represents less than half of all of the new content we're going to have in the full version at launch.
• Again, you can find the Open Alpha on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No need to sign up, just portal into the action on your gaming system of choice Feb 27 to March 2.
• And to keep in the loop about our full launch later this year, be the first to know by staying in touch with us on our Discord or signing up for our newsletter on splitgate.com.

Play the Splitgate 2 Open Alpha now on PC (via Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

I am an old school arena fps shooter player, Raised on UT99, Quake3Arena. I played Splitgate for a while, so I can tell you people, Splitgate is one of the best arena shooter nowdays Dynamic, fast, several weapon for different situations, nice movements, Portals are very fun, if you give you time to practicce. Not EZ to use well in a firefight, so need much time of practice, but in the end it gives a very good play time.
I just finished, because most of the map was a bit overcomplicated, chaotic and also my playmates sticked to Quake Champions.
I hope Splitgate 2 will give a good push for the title.
