EA’s just confirmed the price of Split Fiction for Switch 2 and one other small but rather interesting detail has now been highlighted on social media about its use of the new GameShare feature.
Not only will Switch 2 players be able to invite a player on the same platform to join them via wireless connection, but this “other player” can also apparently be a Switch owner. As a reminder, Split Fiction has only been announced for the Switch 2.
Here’s what EA has to say about this on its website:
EA: “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.”
Nintendo’s website goes into a bit more detail about GameChat, explaining how only Switch 2 systems can share games, but any Switch 2 or original Switch can receive them. Original Switch systems can only receive games that are compatible with Switch.
Split Fiction on Switch 2 will also support the Hazelight ‘Friend’s Pass’ feature – allowing two players to play together online, with only one copy of the game required. Crossplay support has also been confirmed for this platform.
