The rise of couch co-op games has been a fascinating trend in recent years, with Hazelight Studios leading the charge with their exceptional titles. Their latest release, *Split Fiction*, continues to shine a spotlight on cooperative play. Here's the scoop on whether you can dive into *Split Fiction* solo.
Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?
Like all previous Hazelight Studios games, *Split Fiction* is designed with co-op play at its core, whether you're teaming up online or enjoying couch co-op. Unfortunately, for those hoping to venture through *Split Fiction* alone, it's not possible. The game doesn't feature an AI companion, and even with multiple controllers, the precise timing and coordination required would make solo play nearly impossible.
However, there's a great workaround for players seeking a partner. The Friend's Pass system supports both local and online co-op and is cross-platform, allowing friends on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC to play together, provided one player owns *Split Fiction*.

How Does the Friend's Pass for Split Fiction Work?
If you own *Split Fiction* and can't play solo, inviting a friend to join you is the perfect solution. Here's how to do it:
- Own *Split Fiction* on any platform.
- Ask your partner to download the Friend's Pass on their preferred platform.
- Send an invite to your friend for your session.
- Enjoy the entire game together.
The Friend's Pass is cross-platform compatible, so whether you're connected via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or on PC through Steam, Epic Games Store, or the EA app, you can team up with friends across different platforms. Even the EA Friends list can be used to send invites.
Hazelight's consumer-friendly approach with the Friend's Pass remains one of the most appreciated features in gaming. If your friends are hesitant about committing to the game, this is a fantastic way for them to experience *Split Fiction* in co-op before deciding to purchase.
That's all you need to know about playing *Split Fiction* solo. Remember, *Split Fiction* will be released on March 6 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
