How to get access to Splitgate 2 Alpha

There are many different shooters on the video game market, but few are as unique as Splitgate 2. With multiple factions, different abilities and weapons, and your trusty portal gun, players are ready to explode onto the scene with the game’s Alpha playtest.

Splitgate 2 is the sequel to the four-vs-four free-to-play shooter that features fast-paced, arena-style combat with a plethora of different classes, weapons, and playstyles that are centered around the ability to teleport around the map with a portal gun.

Players can also shoot through the portals they create, use abilities, and outplay their opponents with outrageous plays that will delight the thousands of adoring fans in attendance and frustrate their unfortunate foes. With revamped maps and graphics, Splitgate 2 could help birth a new era of shooters for this year and beyond.

Here is how to access the Splitgate 2 Alpha playtest.

How to gain Splitgate 2 Alpha playtest access

To gain access to the Splitgate 2 Alpha playtest, prospective players must head to the game’s official Steam page and request access to the Alpha. The page says you’ll be notified if the developer randomly chooses you as a participant through the email linked to your Steam account.

There is no other way to gain access to the playtest other than the official Steam page, so you just have to request access and remain patient. You can sign up on the website for in-game rewards and other goodies, but this doesn’t guarantee you’ll get into the Alpha quicker than others.
