The first Splitgate was a hit, combining the fast-paced arena action of Halo with the strategy of Portal, and the sequel, Splitgate 2, has arrived in Open Beta, but server issues are getting in the way.
This beta is essentially the game’s launch, as it’ll stay live right up until the official release in the near future, and you’ll keep all your progression.
However, server issues have meant that players haven’t been able to find games and have found themselves up against bots rather than real players. If you’re desperate to play the new shooter, here are all the latest updates on Splitgate 2’s server status.
Splitgate 2 beta server status
The Splitgate 2 servers have been taken offline while the devs work to fix the issues stopping players from loading into games.
At 8 PM PT on May 22, roughly 11 hours after the beta went live, the devs said, “We are taking servers offline temporarily to implement some important bug fixes and stability improvements. We are continuing to work around the clock to get things as stable as possible.”
Latest updates
At 8 AM PT on May 23, Ian Proulx, the CEO of 1047 Games, released a short video with an update.
“I just want to say I’m super sorry on behalf of myself, Nick [Bagamian, co-founder], the whole team at 1047. Obviously, this is not the spot we thought we’d be in 24 hours after the launch of the beta. We thought we would be in great shape by now, and obviously that’s not the case.
“We’ve got this underlying problem that’s bringing the whole ship down, and so we’re working around the clock to get it fixed as quickly as possible. Obviously, this is extremely frustrating for all of you. It’s extremely frustrating for us. We’re gonna get it there, and we’re really sorry, and we appreciate you guys being patient with us.”
He also confirmed that any skins you’ve purchased or earned will be there when the servers go online: “It’s all in our system. You have not lost it. You have my word, like, it will be there, do not worry.”
“We will have a more concrete update later today,” he confirmed. “ We’re gonna keep telling you and keeping you guys in the loop as always. Right now I wish I had more specifics and I could tell you, you know, ‘at X o’clock’ or ‘at this time, it’s gonna be ready.’ I don’t have that yet.”
