The studio 1047 Games has confirmed that the original Splitgate won’t be saying goodbye for good. Although its dedicated servers will shut down on August 29th, the experience will remain playable thanks to a peer-to-peer connection system. This way, the title that conquered so many fans will continue to be enjoyed while the team focuses all its efforts on the development of Splitgate 2.

The decision comes after the StopKillingGames movement highlighted the loss of access to online titles once their servers go dark. In this case, 1047 Games wants to ensure that the community preserves the game that gave them life, albeit in a different way.

Splitgate will remain playable thanks to peer-to-peer

• Server shutdown: on August 29th, 2025, the dedicated servers will cease to be active.

• Peer-to-peer connection: a user will host the match and others will join through the room finder.

• New content added: 13 new maps are included in block phase (some of which were originally intended for Splitgate 2) and a scenario called Simulation Juliet.

• All cosmetics unlocked: the battle pass, store, and daily rewards disappear, but all cosmetic items become available to all players.

• Preserved features: the Map Creator (with local saving) and community favorite modes, such as racing, will remain usable.

1047 Games emphasizes that progress and purchases will be preserved, although new achievements won’t be obtainable after the server shutdown. Additionally, they confirm that the peer-to-peer version will remain playable on consoles and with cross-platform support, although it will no longer feature anti-cheat systems.

The studio’s founders, Ian and Nicholas, thanked the community for their support since the project’s early days and highlighted that this is their way of ensuring that Splitgate never completely disappears.
