What to Expect in Splitgate 2's Open Alpha Test

According to 1047 Games' Lead Writer, Nate Dern (via the PlayStation Blog), the Open Alpha features crossplay and a new 24-player mode: Multi-Team Portal Warfare. Three teams of eight will battle on Splitgate's largest map yet, experimenting with new weapons, perks, and equipment alongside the classic fast-paced action.

The original Splitgate's beloved portal mechanics remain central, allowing for creative outplays and trick shots. While the sequel introduces new classes (or factions) with unique abilities, the core portal gameplay, refined through internal and external feedback, promises a defining FPS experience.

Splitgate 2's Open Alpha launches February 27th on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
