While the original game stayed online, it lost players due to the lack of continued support. The team’s attention was fully on Splitgate 2, which launched in 2025. Although the beta version was well-received, the full release faced criticism because of its microtransactions and how it was marketed.

For a lot of us, it wasn’t just entertainment – it made you think about where we were headed as a society, and what the future might hold. It really sparked the imagination.
