(even more info) everything u need to know about the game

[H Z H]

hi
i gathered some info for u

-this game doesn't support single player, just like the 2 other games from the same developer, it requires 2 players to play

-if u r looking for someone to play with u, there is an official discord server for Hazelight games that include "looking for partner" channels

-split screen is the way this game works, so even if u play it online, it will be on split screen
because like (a way out) and (it takes two) this game require collaboration and timing
u need to see what the other player is doing

-also like (a way out) and (it takes two) this game supports "friend's pass"
which means that only 1 player need to buy this game and then he can invite any of his friends to play with him for free
so no, u don't need to buy 2 copies, 1 is enough
note that your friend who doesn't own it will still need to download the free friend's pass version of the game
any1 can download the friends pass copy of the game once split fiction releases
so u don't have to wait for someone to invite u to be able to download it
also note that (friends pass) player will not receive any achievements
the save from friends pass carry on to the main game if u decide to purchase it later but the achievements don't, u r gonna have to re-do all the achievements

-all 3 games (a way out - it takes two - split fiction) support remote play
so u can invite someone to play with u without them having to own the game nor download it, they just press accept and your pc will stream the game to their PC or any platform that supports steam link app (even if they r playing on android phone or smart TV)
note that remote play require decent internet speed for both players or else the game will be laggy or unplayable

-both a way out and it takes two didn't support family sharing which means if u bought either of them, your steam family members won't see the games in their libraries
but split fiction is gonna support family sharing which mean any member of your steam family is gonna be able to play this game while u r not currently playing it

-a way out requires EA app to be able to play/invite friend
it takes two used to require EA app but no longer does
split fiction also won't require EA app to play/invite friend
split fiction is gonna require EA account to be able to play cross platform (only EA account not EA app)

-a way out and it takes two both didn't support "cross platform" but split fiction is gonna support it which means u can play on your pc with your friend who owns it on PS/Xbox
or even if they don't own it, u can invite your PS/Xbox friends to play for free with u using the friend's pass
note that to use the cross platform feature u need EA account

-they confirmed split fiction coming to (geforce now) in march

-split fiction is verified on steam deck

-for any1 who wants to test the game before buying it or maybe to test if your PC can run it
both players can download the friends pass to play the opening and the first level for free

thx for reading and if u have any question feel free to ask

there r some posts saying they can't play friends pass while having the main game shared with them via steam family sharing
this is probably because steam family detects the game as owned not as friends pass, so it doesn't let u play while the actual owner account is playing
i haven't actually tested this solution but u can try excluding the game from steam family sharing so u can launch it as friends pass and play with the owner

Why doesn't this game have a lobby ingame so people can auto join easily?

added semi solution for those of u who wanna get rid of split screen to play in full screen for each player

Does anyone happen to know if I purchase on Steam to play cross-play on Xbox if I can use the same EA account or need to create a second for the kiddo to play? Also, will I need Xbox Live for the cross-play?

Yeah, I would prefer to buy on Steam and play with her on the Xbox, I currently only have one EA account and no xbox live. I don't know what all I have to have to make that work.

for those of u who can't launch the main game via family sharing and stuck with friends pass
u need to remove friends pass licence from your steam account so it can detect the main game when u launch it
