Can You Play Split Fiction Solo? Answered

Author:Kristen Update:Mar 15,2025

Hazelight Studios, known for their fantastic couch co-op games, has released their latest title, *Split Fiction*. But can you play *Split Fiction* alone? Unfortunately, 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 AI companion to fill the void, and the intricate coordination required makes solo play virtually impossible.

Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?

The core gameplay of *Split Fiction* hinges on teamwork. You won't be able to tackle the challenges solo. Even with multiple controllers, the precise timing and coordination needed make single-player progression extremely difficult.

Don't worry if you don't have a buddy readily available! Hazelight's Friend's Pass makes it easy to play with others. Here's how it works:

  1. Own *Split Fiction* on any platform (PlayStation, Xbox, or PC).
  2. Have your friend download the free Friend's Pass on their platform.
  3. Send them an invite to your session.
  4. Enjoy the game together!

The Friend's Pass works across all platforms, so whether your friend is on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store, or the EA app), you can team up. You can even invite friends from your EA Friends list.

This generous system is a great way to introduce friends to the game. They can experience the co-op fun before buying their own copy.

In short, you can't play *Split Fiction* solo, but the Friend's Pass makes finding a partner easy and accessible.

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