Nintendo and Electronic Arts have confirmed an interesting special feature for the Switch 2 version of Split Fiction.

As detailed on an EA blog post, Switch 2 owners will be able to use Gameshare to invite other players to play using only one copy of the game. This other player can either be using a Switch 2, or a Switch 1. Notably, Split Fiction has only been announced for the Switch 2, suggesting that this will be the only way Switch 1 players will get to experience the game.

As mentioned in the last blog, Split Fiction will take advantage of the new Nintendo Switch 2 system features GameShare and GameChat.

GameShare will enable Nintendo Switch 2 owners to invite another player to play together over a local wireless connection using just one copy of the game. This “other player” can be not only a Nintendo Switch 2 owner but a Nintendo Switch owner as well.

GameChat will allow players to easily communicate and collaborate with one another when playing online by using the system’s built-in microphone. Nintendo Switch 2 owners who connect the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera or USB camera to their system will be able to also share their live video as part of the GameChat feature. The camera image will appear on the player indicator UI within the game.

Split Fiction on Switch 2 will also support developer Hazelight’s Friend Pass feature, which will allow players to play together online with only one copy of the game.
