Splitgate

Splitgate is a free-to-play first-person shooter multiplayer game that allows its players not only to engage in competitive online matches in solo and team modes but also access innovative portal mechanics that can be used both offensively and defensively.

Immediately after arriving on the desktop PC market, this title elevated the genre of competitive FPS games to a whole new level, providing gamers with a free alternative to many popular MP franchises such as Call of Duty, Halo, and others. Splitgate for PC is often described as the much-evolved version of Halo multiplayer modes, with fast-paced gameplay, multi-dimensional combat, and a wide array of playable modes.

The core of Splitgate's offering is its comprehensive online system where players can engage in numerous activities inside 15 casual and competitive game modes. They are all situated in the offering of 20 maps, each designed to the smallest detail to offer unique settings (natural and urban environments, research labs, active volcanoes, luxury hotels, alien crash sites, and more) and tactical opportunities.

• Base Game, 100% FREE
• 20+ maps
• 15+ modes
• Cross-play gaming
• Feature-Filled matchmaking
• Ranked, Casual, Custom Games

However, the gameplay itself is enhanced with the presence of user-controlled portals (like those found in the innovative first-person puzzle game Portal), that can make any match much more frenetic. The players are free to use those portals for flanking, flying, and out-maneuvering their opponents, both when playing solo and with teammates.

In addition to the wide variety of PvP match types, Splitgate also offers players the ability to hone their skills in grindable challenges, customize their characters, and engage in the online leaderboard and ranking systems.
