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 title, *Split Fiction*, continues to shine a spotlight on cooperative gameplay. Here's the scoop on whether you can dive into *Split Fiction* solo.
Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?
As with all Hazelight Studios' games, *Split Fiction* is designed with cooperative play at its core, whether you're teaming up online or enjoying couch co-op. Unfortunately, this means solo players are out of luck. 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 solo play nearly impossible.
However, there's a fantastic workaround for those eager to find a partner. The Friend's Pass system is available for both local and online co-op and is cross-platform compatible. This means your friends on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can join the fun as long as one of you owns *Split Fiction*.

How Does the Friend's Pass for Split Fiction Work?
If you own *Split Fiction* and are looking for a partner, you can easily invite someone to join you across any platform. 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 PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA app on PC. You can even use the EA Friends list to send invites, making it easier than ever to find a co-op partner.
Hazelight's consumer-friendly approach remains one of the best aspects of gaming. If your friends are hesitant about trying *Split Fiction*, the Friend's Pass offers them a risk-free way to experience the game in co-op before deciding to buy.
That's all you need to know about playing *Split Fiction* solo. Remember, *Split Fiction* releases on March 6 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
