The rise of couch co-op games has been remarkable in recent years, with Hazelight Studios leading the charge with their exceptional titles. Their latest project, *Split Fiction*, continues to spotlight cooperative gameplay. If you're wondering whether you can dive into *Split Fiction* solo, here's what you need to know.
Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?
Just like Hazelight Studios' previous releases, *Split Fiction* focuses heavily on cooperative play, whether online or through couch co-op. Unfortunately, this means solo adventurers won't be able to enjoy the game alone. There's no AI companion to assist, and even with multiple controllers, the intricate timing and coordination required make it nearly impossible to progress on your own.
However, there's a convenient solution for those seeking a gaming partner. The Friend’s Pass allows for both local and online co-op and is cross-platform compatible. This means friends on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can join the fun as long as one person owns a copy of *Split Fiction*.

If you're the proud owner of *Split Fiction* and looking for a partner because solo play isn't an option, you can invite someone on any platform to join the adventure. Here's how to do it:
- Own *Split Fiction* on any platform
- Request that your partner download the Friend’s Pass on their chosen platform
- Send an invite for your session to the friend
- Enjoy playing the entire game together
The Friend’s Pass is also cross-platform, so whether you're connected through PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or via 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 serves as a way to send an invite.
Hazelight's consumer-friendly initiative remains one of the best aspects of gaming. For friends who are undecided about the game, the Friend’s Pass offers an easy way to try out co-op play before making a commitment.
That’s everything you need to know about playing *Split Fiction* solo.
*Split Fiction* is set to release on March 6 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
