Hazelight Studios continues to distinguish itself in the gaming industry with its unique approach to cooperative play. One of the standout features that sets their games apart is the Friend’s Pass system, allowing two players to enjoy the game even if only one has purchased it. This innovative model hasn’t been widely adopted by other developers, enabling Hazelight to carve out a distinct niche in the market. However, a notable limitation in their previous titles was the absence of crossplay, a feature that would naturally complement their co-op concept.
Exciting news for fans: Hazelight's upcoming game, Split Fiction, will introduce crossplay. The developers have officially confirmed this much-anticipated feature. The Friend’s Pass system will return, meaning that only one copy of the game needs to be purchased for two players to dive in, although both will require an EA account.
In addition to this, Hazelight has announced the release of a demo version of Split Fiction. This demo will allow players to experience the game together and importantly, any progress made in the demo can be carried over to the full version, ensuring a seamless transition for those who decide to purchase.
Split Fiction aims to immerse players in a range of diverse settings while maintaining a focus on simple yet profound human relationships. The game is scheduled for release on March 6 and will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, promising an engaging and emotionally resonant experience for gamers.
