The rise of couch co-op games has been fascinating to observe in recent years, and Hazelight Studios has consistently delivered some of the finest experiences in this genre. Their latest endeavor, *Split Fiction*, continues to spotlight cooperative gameplay. Here's the scoop on whether you can play *Split Fiction* solo.
Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?
As is the hallmark of Hazelight Studios' games, *Split Fiction* focuses heavily on cooperation, whether it's online or via couch co-op. Unfortunately, this means that solo play is not an option. There is no AI companion to assist, and even if you have multiple controllers, the game's requirement for precise timing and coordination makes solo play nearly impossible.
However, if you're looking for someone to play with, there's a convenient solution. The Friend’s Pass feature supports both local and online co-op and is cross-platform enabled. This means that friends on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can enjoy *Split Fiction* together, as long as one person owns the game.

The Friend’s Pass is cross-platform compatible, so whether you're connected via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Steam, Epic Games Store, or the EA app on PC, you can team up with someone for this new adventure. Even the EA Friends list can be used to send an invite.
This consumer-friendly initiative by Hazelight is one of the best aspects of gaming today. If your friends are unsure about the game, the Friend’s Pass offers them a chance to try *Split Fiction* in co-op before making a purchase.
That’s everything you need to know about the possibility of playing *Split Fiction* solo.
Split Fiction releases on March 6 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
