So, how's progress going on Splitgate? This sci-fi multiplayer shooter went nuclear not too long ago with its free open beta on PlayStation 4, and since the launch of Season 0, things have felt a little quiet. Behind the scenes, though, developer 1047 Games has been working not only on the game itself, but also the game's future. To that end, it's just been funded another $100 million, no big deal.
In a statement on Twitter, the studio explains how significant this investment will be in developing Splitgate and expanding the team:
Long story short, the extra money allows 1047 Games to hire many more developers, which lets them push out better updates faster, new features, bug fixes, and branch out to other platforms. "Everything is now on the table," it says, "and the scope of what we can achieve just got [10 times] bigger!"
The team has big ambitions, and will spend time focusing on "growing to become the next big AAA studio" while listening in on community feedback to keep improving Splitgate.
If you've yet to give the game a try, we'd recommend you do — the "Halo meets Portal" descriptor is bang on. It's a fun arena shooter, and the portals give it a tactical twist that really adds to the action. 1047 Games has said the game will more than likely come to PS5 in the future, so there's that to look forward to.

Good news I've really enjoyed playing it hopefully it'll get even better
Good stuff I haven't played it in a little while but I really liked what I played. I wonder if they are now considering an actual single player campaign now that they got more funds to work with.
It seemed intimidating at first and I nearly gave up on it but if you perservere through the first couple of ranks, it all starts to come together and is one of the best FPS out there. I used to love COD but this is far better in my opinion.
Give it a try, it's pretty damn good
I wonder if people like this because it feels oddly easy...my first game I got like a 17 kill streak lol
Wow what a story when it comes to this game. Fingers crossed for a campaign!
Who dat ? Never heard of it.
Tried it last week. It’s ok. Not really getting the hype tbh but that’s most likely on me as I didn’t really see the benefit of using the portals.
Due to that it just became a normal shooter.
@lolwhatno If you are saying it's bots...when does it not become bots because someone told me it was bots ..but I'm clearly playing people with gamertags and it's still easy as
Hopefully get a Nintendo switch port
Good news, but I think there is a 1% chance that money will be used efficiently. This game was started by two college buddies. $100,000,000 is an insane amount of money. To compare, Horizon: Zero Dawn cost something like 47 million to make.
Unless they hire the best producers in the universe a lot of that money will probably be wasted.
