What is the Friend's Pass?

The Friend's Pass

The Friend's Pass*, a staple feature from Hazelight Studios, returns once again in Split Fiction! As Split Fiction is a true co-op adventure you experience alongside a partner, Hazelight wants to make the process of finding someone to be the Mio to your Zoe as simple as possible. The Friend's Pass allows anyone who owns the game to invite a friend to join the fun online for free, even if they don't own a copy!

Better still, the Friend's Pass lets you connect and play with friends across different platforms with crossplay for the very first time in a Hazelight game. And you can do this as many times as you like, even if you invite a new friend to play through the sci-fi and fantasy adventure each time!

How Friend's Pass Works

Watch on YouTube

Getting someone to play with you can be done with these four simple steps:

  • Step 1. I own Split Fiction
  • Step 2. Friend installs Friend's Pass on their chosen platform
  • Step 3. I send an invite to my friend, who then accepts the in-game invite
  • Step 4. Play The Entire Game Together

Friends Pass Trial


Even if neither you and your co-op partner own a copy of Split Fiction, you can both experience a Trial of the game for free using the Friend's Pass! Once you both download and launch the Friend's Pass version of the game, you will be able to invite each other to play the opening stages of the game together, and then continue your progress if one of you purchases a full copy of Split Fiction!

Cross-Play


No matter what platform you and your friends are playing on, you will be able to team up and experience Zoe and Mio's story through Split Fiction. Connect between PC and PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S all combinations are possible! Playing Split Fiction via cross-play will require a free EA Account, so be sure to sign up.

If no one on your friends list is available to play Split Fiction with you, you can also use the "Looking for Player" channels on the Hazelight Discord server to arrange game sessions with other players in the community, letting you both journey through the incredible sci-fi and fantasy worlds Mio and Zoe have to escape from!


If all that has got you excited to learn more about Split Fiction, make sure to follow Hazelight on both X and Instagram to see more aspects of the game showcased ahead of launch.

Split Fiction is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 6th, 2025.
