Compared to titles from other developers, one of the best things about Hazelight Studios' two-player co-op games is that they have a Friend's Pass. This nifty feature allows someone to play with you completely free-of-charge as long as you've purchased a copy yourself, meaning that you don't have to buy two to dive in with a friend or loved one. Both 2017's A Way Out and 2021's Game of the Year-winning It Takes Two had a Friend's Pass, and the newly released Split Fiction does as well (with cross-play for the first time, too).
Understanding how to use the Split Fiction Friend's Pass can be a little confusing, though, especially if you've never played a Hazelight game before. To help you out, I've gone over how to download and use the feature in the guide below. Read on for an overview of everything you need to know.
