Splitgate won’t launch into 1.0 until August as 1047 Games deals with servers

Developer 1047 Games is extending its open beta for Splitgate into August. The studio originally planned to launch the Portal-style competitive shooter into its 1.0 version tomorrow, July 27. It is delaying that to improve the game’s servers. Splitgate launched on console earlier this month, and it has since seen 2 million new players. And 1047 wants to ensure as many people as possible can get into the game when it officially launches as a finalized product.

“Our team has been blown away by the incredible reception the Splitgate community has shown us,” 1047 chief executive officer Ian Proulx said. “With the steep and sudden increase in players trying to access servers, we’re having to sort out a myriad of technical issues that come with this level of insane growth.”
