The rise of couch co-op gaming has been remarkable in recent years, with Hazelight Studios leading the charge with their innovative titles. Their latest venture, *Split Fiction*, continues this trend by focusing intensely on cooperative play. If you're wondering whether you can dive into *Split Fiction* on your own, let's clear that up for you.
In true Hazelight fashion, *Split Fiction* is designed with cooperative gameplay at its core, whether that's through online or local couch co-op. Unfortunately, this means solo players are out of luck. There's no AI companion to fill the second player's shoes, and even if you have multiple controllers, the game's reliance on precise timing and coordination makes solo play virtually impossible.
But don't let that discourage you. If you're eager to experience *Split Fiction*, there's a simple solution: the Friend’s Pass. This feature allows you to play with a friend who doesn't own the game, both locally and online, and it's even cross-platform. Whether your friend plays on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC, you can team up as long as one of you owns *Split Fiction*.

If you own *Split Fiction* and are looking for a partner, the Friend’s Pass is your ticket to cooperative fun. Here's how it works:
The Friend’s Pass is compatible across platforms, so whether you're connected via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or through Steam, Epic Games Store, or the EA app on PC, you can easily team up. Even the EA Friends list can be used to send an invite.
Hazelight's consumer-friendly approach with the Friend’s Pass is a testament to their commitment to enhancing the gaming experience. It's a fantastic way for your friends to try *Split Fiction* in co-op before deciding to purchase it themselves.
That's all you need to know about playing *Split Fiction* solo. Remember, *Split Fiction* releases on March 6 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
