There have already been a few closed tests for the upcoming video game Splitgate 2 , but these have been restricted to select players. Ever since the first one made a big splash in the FPS community, excitement for the sequel has been growing. The full game still doesn’t have a release date, but we are getting an open alpha test where anyone can test out a handful of maps, modes, and weapons before it comes out. Since this test is free, there’s no reason not to jump in! Here’s everything you need to know about joining the Splitgate 2 open alpha and what you can expect.
How to join the Splitgate 2 open alpha
The Splitgate 2 open alpha will be available to all players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. As soon as the test begins on February 27, visit the game’s store page on your platform of choice and you will be free to download the alpha and get into the action. There are no restrictions or need to sign up beforehand.
Splitgate 2 ‘s open alpha test will run from February 27 and end on March 2, giving you an entire weekend to see everything it has to offer.
The content we know will be included in this test will be a new 8v8v8 multi-team portal warfare mode on a map that is 20 times larger than any previous map. There will also be multiple variations of king of the hill, Splitball, which is a mixture of Oddball and capture the flag, and Firecracker, a new spin on search and destroy. Team deathmatch and Hotzone will also be back with some improvements.
Three maps will be featured, plus access to a total of 24 weapons, nine pieces of equipment, and map-spcific power weapons to pick up.
While that sounds like a lot, the developers have stated that everything encompassed in this alpha test is still less than half of what will be available in the full release.
