How it plays
Friends host their own matches and fight in small teams, shooting portals to flank each other or escape.
Since the dedicated servers closed in August 2025 there is no matchmaking: one player hosts and the rest join from the server browser.
The newer SplitgateArena Reloaded is a separate game, so make sure everyone installs the same one.
