We can't emphasize enough how valuable our BETA continues to be for us to improve servers
We understand it is frustrating. If you want to avoid this frustration we urge you to wait for full release
For those willing to put up with our growing pains, WE APPRECIATE YOU TESTING❤️
For those who don't know, we are a small dev team with a total of 4 engineers, and we've had over 500k downloads since the start of beta. We appreciate all the patience and support. We are truly blown away🙏
🚨THE ANNOUNCEMENT:
- We have acquired $10 million in funding to expand our dev team/increase server capacity!
- Beta is extended, servers will be back tomorrow with planned launch content!
- You will be able to finish your Beta Battlepass!
🎊We're currently at all-time peak concurrent users with estimated queue times of <2 minutes!
Thank you all for your continued support as we continue to scale. It's not an easy task, but our team is making great progress and will keep working hard to improve YOUR experience.❤️
Today has been a HUGE success for us!
Our most recent patch has given us hugely increased capacity and stability. Because of this we've seen much shorter queue times while having more demand than ever!
Thank you for your continued patience as we work through these crazy times!

Our mission is to help bring back the genre we grew up on and show new gamers what they’ve been missing. Quake, Halo, UT have a special place in our hearts and Splitgate is an homage to them all.
Will you help us complete our mission?
#NotJustAGame
We're putting on the finishing touches to our servers before we're ready to let everyone in. The builds have all been approved so you can download the update now BEFORE servers are live!
Thank you once again for your patience! We'll let you know exactly when the servers are up!
Lore Fact: There is a 9662970000000000000000 to 1 chance of your portal accidently, but tragically, sending you to a random place in the universe. This makes it more likely to happen than Splitgate getting Wall Running or custom Loadouts.
🚨Splitgate Season 0 is now LIVE!
New Features in Season 0:
- New Map: Karman Station! 🛰️
- New Battle Pass with 100 Levels! 💯
- New Gamemode: Contamination! ~brains... 🧟
- And much, MUCH more!
Check out the full Patch Notes here ➡
We're starting to let players trickle in. We have 100's of thousands of you waiting to play, so this is uncharted territory.
Remember this is
#SplitgateBeta
and we're treating the start as a stress test, expect things to still be imperfect.
Thanks for your LEGENDARY patience!❤️
Servers are back online with improved stability and a bit more capacity. We are letting people trickle in slowly!
It took more than an hour because we have been banning people who have been using "queue skipping" programs prior to us going back online.😏
Hey guys! We're happy to see so many of you enjoying the Beta! To make sure as many of you as possible can get in, we politely ask you not to let your game running idle while you're AFK and not playing. We know waiting sucks, so make sure to let other's have some fun, too. 🙂
Servers are now closed til Tuesday. We know many of you weren't able to play much but we promise it'll be worth it. Make sure to be here for a morning announcement!
Thanks to YOU here's what we achieved in BETA

We are taking servers offline in 1.5 hours at 12:30am PT for an update! This update includes:
- 360fps support on PC
- Autosprint (in settings)
- Kicking people who AFK in menu too long
This should lead to better queue times going forward. Servers will be offline for ~1 hour.
The Splitgate Beta has hit 10 Million Downloads!!🤯We've come so far since starting the Open Beta in July, but there's more work to be done before we're ready to release.
We might be extending the Beta, but be on the lookout during
@gamescom
on Aug 25th for more exciting news!
Shout out to our moms! After Splitgate's 2019 PC release, the player population dwindled. Co-founders Ian and Nick were ready to move on. That's when our moms stepped in and inspired us to keep trying and never give up. Without them, we wouldn't be here today! 🥰
💯We're at 100k concurrent & holding steady. This is an important milestone for us not only as a growth indicator, but from a technical viewpoint.
We also fixed many bugs along the way before they got out of hand!
Wait times are over an hour ATM, we appreciate your patience!🙏
(1/5) Message to our Beta Testers:
Olly, Nick, and Michael are working hard and continuing to make progress on server stability and capacity for tomorrow. At the moment, our primary focus is stability over capacity.
Exactly 4 weeks ago we challenged our community to get 1047 likes on this tweet. No one at 1047 Games originally thought it would happen. That's how fast we've grown.
We see how excited everyone is and we all hate the idea of no Splitgate until the July 13th Cross-play Open Beta...
So we're extending the current Demo for 48 hours!🤩
Need more Splitgate? Get this tweet to 1047 Likes and we'll extend the Demo through the weekend to July 11th!
CLARIFICATION 2: We are on pacific time and should be live this afternoon. We are just as excited to play today as you are! We have final approval on 2 of 3 platforms and are just waiting on the 3rd, but it's a process we don't have control over.
#TrustTheProcess
CLARIFICATION: the servers are NOT going online at midnight. There will be an update tomorrow and servers will be online sometime tomorrow afternoon. Just waiting for final approval on all 3 platforms 🙂
A tiny number of you have suggested that we should remove portals from Splitgate. We would never remove something that we're best known for. It would probably be bad for business!
Sorry for having to restart the servers, but now we're back up! We were able to fix a few things which means we're better than ever! Thanks for your understanding!
Despite long queues and a matchmaking bug, today was a HUGE win for us:
- new all time peak concurrent!
- fixed "lost items" bug
- Redis database 30x boost
- server and game crashes way down
Huge progress and proud of our team! Still more to do but we got this💪

Turns out I was wrong! We were able to push the server improvements without taking things offline :)
Never trust the social media guy when it comes to these things😅
We see how excited everyone is and we all hate the idea of no Splitgate until the July 13th Cross-play Open Beta...
So we're extending the current Demo for 48 hours!🤩
Need more Splitgate? Get this tweet to 1047 Likes and we'll extend the Demo through the weekend to July 11th!
We have decided to take the beta offline for tonight. It’s been a rough day trying to handle this scale and it’s not fair to you.
Everyone who played the beta so far will get 5 drops as a token of our appreciation. Stay tuned for more updates and optimizations in the morning <3

Do memes brighten your day?
Well then, do yourself a favor and follow us on Instagram!
Here are some of the memes you've been missing out on!
Wait times are currently at least 90 minutes. We know this is not ideal.
Here is Olly explaining why we can’t just buy more servers. These things take time! We are making good progress but unfortunately wait times are going be long while we are in BETA.
At 10AM PT (30 minutes from now) we will be undergoing planned server maintenence. This will take approximately 45-60 minutes.
Thank you for your patience! We can't wait to show you what we have in store later this week 😉
Just wanna add 1 thing. We’ve heard a lot of “ignore the haters.” We appreciate that! It’s been a stressful week forsure but to be honest this has been the best week of our lives! This is every indie developer’s dream and the excitement far outweighs the stress. We got this! 💪
🤯We're glad to see so many of you wanting to play Season 0! If you are in a queue, note that we are steadily increasing capacity while verifying server stability.
The current queue wait time is about 15 minutes, so we thank you ahead of time for your patience! 🙏
YOLO I'm just going to tell you that we have a big update planned for Monday night, Sept 27th!
