Split Fiction<\/a> on Nintendo Switch 2<\/a> will let players on the original Switch join in via GameShare, Electronic Arts has said. The GameShare feature, announced alongside the Switch 2, allows two players, who own a Switch 2 or the Nintendo Switch, to share a single copy of a compatible game over a local wireless connection. A Nintendo Switch 2 owner will be able to share Hazelight’s acclaimed co-op title with another user on the Switch<\/a> via GameShare. Split Fiction is coming to Nintendo’s<\/a> new console as a launch title on June 5.<\/p>\n

Split Fiction on Switch 2 and Switch<\/h2>\n

In a blog post<\/a> detailing Split Fiction’s Nintendo Switch 2 features, EA<\/a> confirmed that Switch owners will be able to receive and play the game locally alongside a Switch 2 user.<\/p>\n

\u201cGameShare 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,\u201d the blog post read.<\/p>\n

Earlier when EA had announced<\/a> Split Fiction for the Switch successor, it had said the co-op title could only be shared with another player on their Nintendo Switch 2.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that Nintendo, too, has said that only Switch 1 compatible games can be shared to the hybrid console from a Switch 2. \u201cOnly Nintendo Switch 2 systems can share games, but any Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch can receive them. Nintendo Switch systems can only receive games that are compatible with Nintendo Switch,\u201d the page<\/a> explaining GameShare feature on the Nintendo website reads.<\/p>\n

EA’s confirmation on Split Fiction being playable on the Switch via GameShare, however, runs contradictory to Nintendo’s description, as the game will not be native to the Nintendo Switch. The game has been announced for the Switch 2 but is not launching on the original Switch.<\/p>\n

Split Fiction is also confirmed to support Friend’s Pass and Cross Play on the Nintendo Switch 2. Friend’s Pass, a feature in Hazelight Studios’<\/a> co-op games, lets two players play the game together online, with only one of those players needing to own a copy. With cross play, players will be able to experience the game together across PC<\/a>, PS5, Xbox Series S\/X and Nintendo Switch 2 with the help of an EA account.<\/p>\n

Switch 2 pre-orders for Split Fiction will begin on April 24, with the game priced at $49.99. It will release on the Switch 2 as a launch-day title on June 5. Split Fiction launched on PC, PS5<\/a> and Xbox Series<\/a> S\/X on March 6<\/p>\n
