What to Expect in Splitgate 2's Open Alpha Test
According to Lead Writer Nate Dern's insights shared on the PlayStation Blog, the Open Alpha will feature crossplay and introduce a thrilling 24-player mode called Multi-Team Portal Warfare. This mode pits three teams of eight against each other on *Splitgate*'s largest map yet, offering players a chance to test out new weapons, perks, and equipment amidst the game's signature fast-paced action.
The original *Splitgate* was renowned for its innovative portal mechanics, which allowed for mind-blowing outplays and trickshots. *Splitgate 2* will continue to build on this beloved feature, introducing new classes or factions with unique abilities. However, the core portal mechanic remains central to the Alpha experience, with Dern emphasizing that both internal and external feedback have been crucial in shaping the game’s foundation to deliver a standout FPS experience.
And 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.
