Splitgate Fans Rejoice: Peer-to-Peer Multiplayer is Coming
In a surprising turn of events, Splitgate fans can look forward to peer-to-peer multiplayer starting August 29, allowing them to continue enjoying the game after server shutdowns. While this is a commendable effort from 1047 Games, it comes on the heels of the disastrous launch of Splitgate 2, which has led to layoffs and a rollback to beta. "Our community is everything to us," they state, yet the elimination of features like the battle pass and achievements casts doubt on their long-term commitment. Players will retain previously purchased cosmetics, but with a lack of new content, interest may wane quickly. The release of unreleased maps is a nice touch, yet it feels like a last-ditch effort to salvage interest. Ultimately, while the move is welcome, it raises questions about the future of the franchise and whether this is merely a stopgap solution.
