The rise of couch co-op games has been a thrilling trend to follow, and Hazelight Studios has consistently delivered top-notch experiences in this genre. Their latest game, *Split Fiction*, continues this tradition by putting a spotlight on cooperative play. However, for those wondering if it's possible to dive into *Split Fiction* solo, here's the rundown.
Can You Play Split Fiction By Yourself?
As with all Hazelight Studios' titles, *Split Fiction* is designed with cooperative gameplay at its core, requiring players to team up either 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 mechanics demand precise timing and coordination that would be nearly impossible to manage alone.
However, there's a convenient solution for those in need of a co-op partner. The Friend's Pass feature allows you to play with a friend, whether locally or online, and it's also cross-platform enabled. This means players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can join forces, as long as one player owns a copy of *Split Fiction*.

The Friend's Pass supports cross-platform play, so whether you're connected via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Steam, Epic Games Store, or the EA app on PC, you can team up with someone on a different platform. Even the EA Friends list can be used to send an invite.
Hazelight Studios' consumer-friendly approach with the Friend's Pass is a standout feature in the gaming world, making it easier for friends to try out *Split Fiction* in co-op before deciding to purchase it.
That's all the information you need on whether you can play *Split Fiction* solo.
