What to Expect in Splitgate 2’s Open Alpha Test

According to Lead Writer Nate Dern, speaking to the PlayStation Blog, the Open Alpha will feature crossplay and introduce players to the brand-new 24-player mode called Multi-Team Portal Warfare. This mode will pit three teams of eight players against each other on the largest map yet, offering a chance to test out new weapons, perks, and equipment while enjoying the classic chaos of Splitgate gameplay.

One of the original game’s standout features was its innovative portal mechanics, which allowed players to create strategic outplays and execute jaw-dropping trick shots. While the sequel introduces new classes with unique abilities, the core portal mechanic remains central to the experience. According to Dern, internal and external feedback has refined the game’s foundation, positioning it as a defining moment in the FPS genre.
