Can You Play Split Fiction Solo? Yes!

by Liam May 04,2025

The rise of couch co-op gaming has been a trend to follow closely in recent years, and Hazelight Studios has consistently delivered some of the most engaging experiences in this genre. Their latest offering, *Split Fiction*, continues to shine a spotlight on cooperative gameplay. But for those wondering about the possibility of enjoying this game solo, here's what you need to know.

Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?

As with all Hazelight Studios' titles, *Split Fiction* is designed to be played with a partner, either online or through couch co-op. Unfortunately, this means that solo play is not an option. There is no AI companion to assist you, and even with multiple controllers, the game's demands for precise timing and coordination make it nearly impossible to progress alone.

However, for those eager to dive into *Split Fiction*, there's a convenient solution for finding a co-op partner. The Friend’s Pass system is available for both local and online play and is cross-platform compatible. This means that friends on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can enjoy the game together, provided one player owns a copy of *Split Fiction*.

If you own *Split Fiction* and are looking for a co-op partner, you can invite someone from any platform to join the fun. Here's how it works:

  • Own *Split Fiction* on any platform.
  • Ask your partner to download the Friend’s Pass on their chosen platform.
  • Send an invite for your session to the friend.
  • Play the entire game together.

The Friend’s Pass is cross-platform, allowing connections via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or through Steam, Epic Games Store, or the EA app on PC. Even the EA Friends list can be used to send invites, making it easier than ever to find a co-op partner.

Hazelight's consumer-friendly approach is one of the best aspects of their games, and the Friend’s Pass is a fantastic way for hesitant friends to try *Split Fiction* in co-op before making a purchase.

That’s everything you need to know about playing *Split Fiction* solo.

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