Splitgate 2 Open Beta Launches with New Features

Los Angeles, CA – May 22, 2025 – The open beta for ‘Splitgate 2,’ a free-to-play first-person shooter by 1047 Games, has officially launched today, inviting players to experience intense gunfights across multiple maps and modes.

This sequel introduces several new features, including a map creator called ‘The Lab,’ allowing players to create elaborate levels using in-game assets. The game combines traditional gunplay with a unique portal mechanic, which changes how combat is approached, offering a new level of strategy for players.

‘We are excited for players to dive into the open beta and explore the new tools we have created for them,’ said a spokesperson from 1047 Games. ‘The map creator is one of the coolest features, and we believe it will enhance player engagement and creativity.’

Available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, the open beta showcases over 25 different weapons, including the Goliath Revolver and the Charger Shotgun. Players can progress and unlock elements without worrying about losing their progression post-beta.

The game promises to redefine multiplayer gameplay with its fast-paced action, where players can join in various modes, like 4v4 team battles. Players can choose different factions, each offering unique abilities and playstyles, such as the agile Aeros or the tactical Meridian.

1047 Games hints at a significant surprise set for the final launch, which is expected later this year. Players are encouraged to join the ongoing open beta while it lasts to experience everything that ‘Splitgate 2’ has to offer.
