What to Expect in Splitgate 2’s Open Alpha Test
According to Nate Dern, Lead Writer at 1047 Games, in a recent PlayStation Blog post, the Open Alpha will introduce crossplay, allowing players from different platforms to battle it out together. The highlight is the new 24-player mode called Multi-Team Portal Warfare, where three teams of eight players will clash on *Splitgate*'s largest map yet. This mode will give you a chance to experiment with new weapons, perks, and equipment, all while enjoying the frenetic action the series is known for.
The original *Splitgate* won hearts with its innovative portal mechanics, enabling players to pull off mind-blowing outplays and trickshots by strategically opening portals across the battlefield. In *Splitgate 2*, while new classes or factions with unique abilities will be introduced, the beloved portal mechanic remains at the core of the gameplay. Dern emphasized that feedback from both internal testing and the community has been crucial in shaping the game’s foundation, aiming to set a new standard in the FPS genre.
And there you have it—that's how you can join the *Splitgate 2* Open Alpha test, set to launch on February 27, 2025, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
