Now exclusively available on PC, however a PS4 version is probably in the horizon
Splitgate: Arena Warfare aims to fuse the aesthetics of Halo with the physics-based excitement of Portal. If that appeals to you, it's available for free play on Steam right now. You don't need the $20 Founder's Edition, which comes with weapon skins and armor that is purely for looks. Free is acceptable.To be honest, I'm worried about reaching my skill level. Nevertheless, "Every match begins with the same loadout for all players, removing any unfair advantages from the outset." Players are urged to employ the potent weapons that spawn on timers across the game in order to establish kill streaks fit for a montage.
AI bots are another thing that gives me hope. If there's one thing that Quake and Unreal Tournament have taught me, it's that I like bots. When it comes to game modes, we're considering the standard options. Splitgate is attempting to play well-known game modes such as dominance, oddball, kill confirmed, free-for-all, and team deathmatch.
Looking at the Steam player-count chart, at the time of writing, Splitgate had around 7,800 concurrent players, sandwiched between Grim Dawn and Divinity: Original Sin 2 . Numerous optimistic arena shooters have come and gone. Will this time be any different? The fact that the game is free to play ought to help it at least get some traction so that people can hear the sales pitch for Halo-meets-Portal .
The creator, 1047 Games, has said that they want to "eventually" bring Splitgate to the PS4, and it's likely that they feel the same way about the Xbox One. But one launch at a time.
In 2006, I played Prey, which was the last competitive shooter in which I jumped via portals. Of course, the two aren't comparable, but I can't help but think back on my first Xbox 360 experiences. Do you recall climbing walls? Do you still have the acid sprayer? Well done on the game! Excellent game.
