EA has revealed more details about the critically acclaimed Nintendo Switch 2 port of Hazelight’s Split Fiction video game. One of the neat things revealed by the company is that you can GameShare the game to the Nintendo Switch 2 and even original Nintendo Switch console to play the full co-op with just one copy of the game. Read on for the full details courtesy of EA:
Deeper dive into GameShare and GameChat
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.
Friends Pass and Cross Play on the Nintendo Switch 2
In case you missed it, Split Fiction on Nintendo Switch 2 will also support Hazelight Friend’s Pass** feature. Thanks to Friend’s Pass, two players can enjoy Split Fiction together online, but only one of those players needs to own a copy of the game! Split Fiction also supports Cross Play, meaning any two players can connect online regardless of which platforms they’re playing on.
