The rise of couch co-op games has been a delightful trend in recent years, and Hazelight Studios has consistently delivered some of the genre's finest experiences. Their latest title, *Split Fiction*, continues to champion cooperative gameplay. Here's what you need to know about playing *Split Fiction* solo.
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 teamwork either online or via couch co-op. Unfortunately, this means that solo play is not an option. There is no AI companion to assist, and the game's mechanics demand precise timing and coordination that would be nearly impossible to manage alone, even with multiple controllers.
However, for those eager to dive into *Split Fiction*, there's a convenient solution. The Friend’s Pass feature allows for both local and online co-op, and it's also cross-platform, enabling players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC to team up, provided one player owns the game.

The Friend’s Pass is compatible across platforms, so whether you're connected through PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Steam, Epic Games Store, or the EA app on PC, you can easily team up with friends. You can even use the EA Friends list to send invites.
Hazelight's consumer-friendly approach is a standout feature in the gaming world, and the Friend’s Pass provides an excellent opportunity for friends to experience *Split Fiction* in co-op before deciding to purchase.
That’s all you need to know about the possibility of playing *Split Fiction* solo.
