Splitgate is a sci-fi multiplayer first-person arena shooter. Players compete in solo and team matches using firearms and portals they place around the map.
Portals let players move between distant points, take unexpected routes, and change their position during fights. Maps have different layouts and settings, encouraging players to adapt how they use portals and approach opponents.
The game offers casual and competitive modes, ranked play, challenges, character customization, and cross-platform play. Players can also create custom lobbies with modifiers to change match rules.
Players who praise Splitgate often point to the portal mechanics, which create surprising routes and satisfying outplays, alongside responsive arena-shooter combat and smooth movement. Some also enjoyed the range of modes and playing with friends. Many reviews express disappointment about the game's current state, so this praise is not an indication that matches are readily available now.
