The rise of couch co-op games has been a fascinating trend in recent years, and Hazelight Studios has consistently delivered some of the best experiences in this genre. Their latest endeavor, *Split Fiction*, continues this tradition by spotlighting co-op gameplay. However, if you're wondering whether you can enjoy *Split Fiction* solo, here's the scoop.
Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?
As with all of Hazelight Studios' previous titles, *Split Fiction* is designed with cooperative play at its core, requiring players to work together either online or through couch co-op. Unfortunately, this means that solo players won't be able to dive into the game alone. There's no AI companion to assist you, and even if you have multiple controllers, the precise timing and coordination needed make it nearly impossible to progress without a partner.
But don't worry if you're eager to play—there's a handy solution for finding a co-op partner. Hazelight's Friend's Pass allows for both local and online co-op and is cross-platform compatible. This means that whether your friends are on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC, you can team up as long as one of you owns a copy of *Split Fiction*.

If you own *Split Fiction* and are looking for a partner, you can easily invite someone to join you. Here's how it works:
- Own *Split Fiction* on any platform.
- Ask your partner to download the Friend's Pass on their preferred platform.
- Send an invite for your session to your friend.
- Enjoy the entire game together.
The Friend's Pass is compatible across platforms, so whether you're connected via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or through Steam, Epic Games Store, or the EA app on PC, you can team up with someone on any of these platforms. Even the EA Friends list can be used to send an invite.
Hazelight's consumer-friendly approach with the Friend's Pass is one of the best aspects of modern gaming. It's an excellent way for your friends to try out *Split Fiction* in co-op before deciding to purchase it themselves.
That's all you need to know about playing *Split Fiction* solo. Remember, *Split Fiction* is set to release on March 6 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
