Josef Fares has made it clear that he doesn’t know how to make bad games. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons put him on the map, A Way Out took him one point further, and It Takes Two elevated him to the sky of Los Angeles rising at The Game Awards as best Game Of The Year 2021. Split Fiction has followed the positive inertia and has given us an outstanding game, according to what can be read in the opinion published in this site. The game has a benefit program in which two players can play the entire adventure using a single copy. It is called Friend Pass, and we tell you how to use it.

This is how the Friend Pass works in Split Fiction

It should be noted that the Split Fiction Friend Pass comes included with every copy of the game, whether in physical or digital format. The user who has purchased the game can invite a friend over the internet to play the adventure without any content restrictions. The only thing limited in this case is the registration of the progress in the guest’s profile, who will receive neither trophies nor achievements (depending on the system in which he/she is).

So far, so normal with respect to Hazelight’s previous work. The cool part lies in the fact that the invitation features cross-play. If you buy the game on PS5 and you have your friend on Xbox or PC, you can invite them in the same way through the system that Electronic Arts has woven to support all platforms. It’s that easy, that simple. The host will see an in-game option to invite a friend. Once the chosen user is selected, he will be able to download the game within the Friend Pass program. You know the next step: let’s play!
