Portal warriors, rejoice! The highly anticipated sequel, Splitgate 2, has officially opened its alpha testing, inviting players from PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S to join the action-packed, cross-platform competition. After the phenomenal success of its predecessor, 1047 Games has returned bigger and bolder, delivering a more expansive and thrilling first-person shooter experience for fans worldwide.
Starting today, gamers can jump straight into Splitgate 2’s adrenaline-soaked alpha, experiencing high-octane gunfights paired seamlessly with the franchise’s signature portal mechanics. The sequel dramatically expands the playing field—introducing larger maps, brand-new portal tricks, amplified visuals, and smoother, faster-paced gameplay. Players across console and PC can now compete side-by-side or face off in epic battles, thanks to full crossplay support.
Community interaction has always stood at the heart of Splitgate, and this open alpha is no exception. 1047 Games invites players to deliver direct feedback to shape future updates and fine-tune balance, controls, and new additions. An enthusiastic and vocal player base became a hallmark of the original game, and now 1047 Games aims to maintain that same collaborative culture.
Splitgate 2 reignites the frantic excitement of strategic, physics-defying teamwork. Veterans will find tunnel-vision precision and tactical creativity intact, but with newly refined mechanics making the transition even more fluid and intuitive. Meanwhile, newcomers can swiftly learn the ropes, mastering the rewarding combination of skillful shooting and clever portal strategies.
For those stepping into the action for the first time, here are a few quick tips for dominating the battlefield during the open alpha:
-
Portals Win Battles: Use portals creatively to flank opponents and control map vantage points. Mastering portal placements separates the seasoned warriors from the rookies.
-
Movement Matters: Constant repositioning using portals makes you harder to target, so stay mobile and unpredictable.
-
Team Coordination: Communicate clearly with teammates, coordinating portal placements to surprise enemies and secure objectives.
-
Know Your Weapons: Each gun has distinct strengths and weaknesses. Familiarize yourself with your favorite loadouts early in the alpha to excel when things heat up.
Alongside this launch, developers are actively engaging with community members on their official Discord channel, where players can provide feedback, report issues, and team up for matches. Additionally, Splitgate’s official subreddit is already buzzing with anticipation and strategy discussions.
The Open Alpha marks only the start of Splitgate 2’s evolving competitive journey.
