The rise of couch co-op games has been a fascinating trend in recent years, and Hazelight Studios has consistently delivered some of the best experiences in this genre. Their latest project, *Split Fiction*, continues to shine a spotlight on cooperative play. Here's the scoop on whether you can enjoy *Split Fiction* solo.
Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?
As with all Hazelight Studios' titles, *Split Fiction* is designed with cooperative gameplay at its core, whether you're playing online or via couch co-op. Unfortunately, this means that solo play is not an option. There's no AI companion to assist you, and even if you have multiple controllers, the game's need for precise timing and coordination makes it nearly impossible to progress alone.
However, there's a convenient solution for those seeking a partner. The Friend's Pass feature supports both local and online co-op and is cross-platform enabled. This means that friends on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can join the fun together, as long as one player owns a copy of *Split Fiction*.

If you own *Split Fiction* and are looking for a partner since solo play isn't available, you can invite someone on any platform to join you. Here's how it works:
- Own *Split Fiction* on any platform.
- Ask your partner to download the Friend's Pass on their chosen platform.
- Send an invite for your session to your friend.
- Enjoy the entire game together.
The Friend's Pass is compatible across platforms, so whether you're connected via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or through Steam, Epic Games Store, or the EA app on PC, you can team up with someone for this new adventure. Even the EA Friends list can be used to send an invite.
Hazelight's consumer-friendly initiative remains one of the best aspects of gaming. If your friends are hesitant about trying the game, the Friend's Pass offers them a chance to experience co-op play before making a purchase.
That's all you need to know about playing *Split Fiction* solo. Remember, *Split Fiction* releases on March 6 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
