A Way Out is a new co-op only, split screen game from Hazelight. Go through the movie-like story, all with your friend by your side.
You can choose between playing A Way Out as a couch co-op, or you can play online.
If you play online, you’ll be able to get a Friend version of the game. That means one of you will have to own a copy, then the other can download a free online-only Friend Pass to play along. Invite your friend to play with you and get ready for A Way Out.
You need to have an active PlayStation Plus subscription or Xbox Live Gold membership in order to download and play the online-only Friends Pass.
When you search for A Way Out in Origin, the PlayStation™Store, or the Xbox Game Catalog, you’ll be able to find and download the free online-only Friend Version. It will show up in the Free Trial section of the stores.
The Friend Pass has the same download size as the full game. It is only available digitally through the Origin, PlayStation, and Xbox stores.
Once you’ve downloaded and installed the Friend version, you can find it in your game library just like any other game you’ve bought.
When you get an invite from a friend, it will be sent through your platform’s messaging system—not in-game. Accept the invite from your messages, then load up the game and get ready to play.
Once you’ve gotten an invite from your friend, you’ll be taken to the lobby of the game. Here’s where you and your pal will choose which character you want to play.
If you play using the Friends Pass, you won’t get achievements. If you decide to buy the game yourself later on, you’ll get any achievements you would have earned while using the Friends Pass.
