Get started with Split Fiction

You can’t buy Split Fiction for the original Nintendo Switch™, but someone playing on the Nintendo Switch™ 2 can share it with you if they own the full game.

You can cross-play with them through local co-op play by using the Nintendo Switch™ 2’s GameShare feature.

Yes! Two people can play the game demo without buying the full game with the Friend’s Pass.

Once both players have downloaded the Friend’s Pass, they can both play the first two levels of the game for free.

To continue playing the game after the demo, one player needs to own the full game. Your demo progress will be carried over to the full version.

Yes, Split Fiction is cross-play, meaning two players can play together on different platforms. This includes the Friend’s Pass and works on Nintendo Switch™ 2, PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox X|S.

If you’re playing on console, make sure cross-play game invites are enabled. You can do this in-game by choosing the Options menu, then going to Privacy Settings.

You have to invite your friend to play in-game using the in-game friends list or your EA Friends List.

Make sure you have cross-play enabled in-game or on your console and you’ve added your friend to your EA Friends List.

If you’re playing through a child account, make sure your platform privacy settings allow you to join online cross-play. Find out more on your platform’s website.

If both players bought the game to play together and one player wants to refund it, check out our Great Game Guarantee.

If you download and play the Friend's Pass and then decide to buy the full game, the Friend's Pass version will launch even if you’re using the disc or have installed the digital version.

To fix this, restart your platform or turn it off and on again. If you have a physical copy, make sure the disc is in. You'll then be able to play the full game.
