Splitgate Playstation Popularity Up Following Halo Launch Devs Want To Carve Own Identity

Splitgate had a bit of a moment earlier this year, as its “Halo meets Portal” concept really took off with players eager to get their hands on Halo Infinite multiplayer. Well, how is Splitgate’s playerbase holding up now that Halo is actually out? While down from the big numbers it was posting this summer, Splitgate has held fairly steady on PC, and according to 1047 Games’ Ian Proulx the game’s PlayStation playercount has “gone up” since Halo Infinite’s release, as PS fans search for their own arena shooter fun…

Ultimately though, while Splitgate has benefitted from its similarity to Halo, 1047 Games still wants to carve out a more unique visual identity for the game.

Splitgate is available now on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, and playable via backward compatibility on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 (full next-gen console updates are coming sometime this year).
