Solo Split Fiction Gameplay: Is It Possible?

Author : Aaron Update : Mar 12,2025

Hazelight Studios, known for its fantastic couch co-op games, has released its latest title, Split Fiction. A key question on many gamers' minds: can you play Split Fiction solo? The answer, unfortunately, is no.

Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?

Like previous Hazelight titles, Split Fiction heavily emphasizes cooperative gameplay, both online and via couch co-op. There's no single-player mode, no AI companion to assist, and the intricate coordination required makes solo play virtually impossible, even with multiple controllers.

However, Hazelight provides a solution: the Friend's Pass. This allows a friend to join you, regardless of platform (PlayStation, Xbox, or PC). Here's how it works:

  1. Own Split Fiction on any platform.
  2. Have your friend download the Friend's Pass on their platform.
  3. Send them an invite to your session.
  4. Enjoy the game together! The Friend's Pass supports cross-platform play via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Steam, Epic Games Store, EA app, and even the EA Friends list.

This generous system makes Split Fiction accessible to more players, allowing friends to experience the co-op adventure together before committing to a full purchase.

That covers the solo play question for Split Fiction. Remember, Split Fiction launches March 6th on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
