What to Expect in Splitgate 2's Open Alpha Test

According to Nate Dern, Lead Writer at 1047 Games, as detailed in the PlayStation Blog, the Open Alpha will feature crossplay and introduce a thrilling new 24-player mode called Multi-Team Portal Warfare. In this mode, three teams of eight will battle it out on *Splitgate*'s largest map yet, giving players the chance to experiment with new weapons, perks, and equipment amidst the classic chaotic action.

What made the original *Splitgate* so beloved were its innovative portal mechanics, allowing for mind-blowing outplays and trickshots. *Splitgate 2* will not only retain these beloved mechanics but also introduce new classes or factions with unique abilities. The portal mechanic remains central to the Alpha experience, with Dern emphasizing that both internal and external feedback has been crucial in shaping the game's foundation to make it a standout in the FPS genre.

And that's how you can join the *Splitgate 2* Open Alpha test. Get ready to experience the next level of portal warfare when the Open Alpha launches on February 27, 2025, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
