The rise of couch co-op games has been a notable trend in recent years, and Hazelight Studios has consistently delivered some of the finest experiences in this genre. Their latest venture, *Split Fiction*, continues to emphasize cooperative gameplay. Here's the scoop on whether you can enjoy *Split Fiction* solo.
Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?
Just like Hazelight Studios' previous titles, *Split Fiction* is designed with co-op play at its core, whether you're teaming up online or enjoying some local couch co-op. Unfortunately, this means solo players are out of luck; there's no AI companion to assist you, and even if you've got multiple controllers, the game's demand for precise timing and coordination makes solo play nearly impossible.
However, if you're eager to dive into *Split Fiction* but lack a partner, there's a handy solution. The Friend’s Pass allows for both local and online co-op and is cross-platform compatible. This means you can team up with friends on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC, as long as one of you owns the game.

How Does the Friend’s Pass for Split Fiction Work?
If you own *Split Fiction* and are looking for a partner, you can easily invite someone to join you across different platforms. Here's how it works:
- Own *Split Fiction* on any platform.
- Ask your partner to download the Friend’s Pass on their preferred platform.
- Send an invite for your session to your friend.
- Enjoy the entire game together.
The Friend’s Pass is compatible across PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA app on PC. You can even use the EA Friends list to send an invite, making it easier than ever to find a co-op partner.
Hazelight's consumer-friendly approach remains a highlight in the gaming world. If your friends are hesitant about purchasing *Split Fiction*, the Friend’s Pass offers them a chance to experience the game in co-op before making a decision.
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.
