Splitgate 2 Open Alpha Showcases Expanded Content and Gameplay Changes

The sequel to the popular FPS introduces new modes, larger maps, and faction-based gameplay while refining its portal mechanics.

Splitgate 2's open alpha is now available on PC and next-gen consoles, running until March 2, 2025.
The game introduces faction-based gameplay, with each faction offering unique abilities and loadouts to enhance team dynamics.
New modes, including 8v8v8 multiteam battles and Chaos Arena, expand the game's variety but may dilute its signature portal mechanics.
Quality-of-life improvements, such as streamlined portal commands and faster gameplay, aim to make the experience more accessible and fluid.
Some critics express concerns that the increased variety and larger maps might overshadow the core portal-shooting mechanics that defined the original game.
