While there are no universal preorder bonuses for Split Fiction, Best Buy sweetens the deal with a free Split Fiction keychain when you preorder from them.

How Does Split Fiction’s Friend’s Pass Work?

Split Fiction is designed to be enjoyed in co-op mode, with no single-player option available. You can dive into the action with a friend either through couch co-op split-screen or online co-op, requiring just one copy of the game. The beauty of it? It's cross-platform, so you can team up with friends regardless of their gaming platform.

To get a friend involved online, simply have them download the "Split Fiction - Friend’s Pass" from their preferred digital marketplace on March 6. This pass is free and enables your friend to play the full game with you once you've sent them an invite. It's a feature Hazelight has successfully implemented in their previous titles, It Takes Two and A Way Out. Keep in mind, though, that your friend needs to pair up with someone who owns the game to play.

What Is Split Fiction?

Split Fiction is a thrilling two-player co-op action adventure where you and a friend take on the roles of a sci-fi and a fantasy writer who find themselves trapped in their own stories. Navigate through levels inspired by science fiction and fantasy, where teamwork is key to overcoming enemies and solving intricate puzzles. Imagine racing on Tron-style motorcycles one moment, then transforming into mythical creatures in an enchanted forest the next.

The game also features "side stories" accessed through portals within levels, offering fun minigames like riding a "sand fish" across deserts or water skiing behind a drone over the sea.
