Hazelight Studios continues to distinguish itself within the gaming industry with its unique approach to cooperative gameplay. One of their standout features is the Friend’s Pass system, where only one player needs to own the game for two to enjoy it together. This innovative model has not been widely adopted elsewhere, solidifying Hazelight's unique position in the market. The only notable shortcoming in their previous titles was the absence of crossplay, which many felt was a natural addition to their co-op focused games.
Exciting news for fans: Hazelight has officially confirmed that their upcoming game, Split Fiction, will support crossplay. This means players across different platforms can now join forces, enhancing the cooperative experience. The Friend’s Pass system will return, allowing one copy of the game to be shared between two players, although both will need an EA account to play.
In a move to generate buzz and allow players to experience the game before its full release, Hazelight has announced a demo version of Split Fiction. This demo not only lets players dive into the game's world but also allows them to carry over their progress to the full version, making it a seamless transition.
Split Fiction is set to explore a range of diverse settings, yet it will center around the exploration of simple yet profound human relationships. The game is slated for release on March 6 and will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, offering players across these platforms a chance to experience Hazelight's latest innovation in cooperative gaming.
