The first version of Splitgate really set the FPS community alight with its innovative gameplay, mashing up the likes of Halo and Portal.
Now, we’re on the verge of getting Splitgate 2 – a more refined and bulked out experience that could stand the test of time.
Currently though it’s only in an Alpha state, requiring you to get access.
Here, we’ll reveal how to get into the Splitgate 2 Alpha so you can get onboard before the 1.0 launch.
Splitgate 2 Alpha: How to get access
As of right now, there are two ways to get a Splitgate 2 Alpha key – request it via Steam or secure a key via Twitch Drops.
If you’re using the Steam method, simply head over to the Splitgate 2 Steam store page and hit the all-important ‘Request Access’ button to register your interest.
One thing to note here is that this doesn’t guarantee you’ll get a key for the playtest, what it does do is put you into a pool for the developers to pick from.
If you’d rather go down the Twitch Drops route, you’ll need to watch a streamer with the Drops enabled for two hours to get your key.
The Splitgate 2 Alpha runs from August 21 and until August 26, so there is a bit of time during that window to get your two hours watched in.
The developers have said though that there are a limited number, so once these run out, you’ll be left in the lurch.
What is quite frustrating for console owners is that the game will in fact be releasing on there, but it looks like the Alpha is just staying as a PC-only affair.
In the meantime though, you can head over to the official Splitgate 2 website and sign up there since you’ll be provided with the latest news on the game, coupled with “exclusive content, in-game rewards, and a few surprises” which sounds very exciting.
