Splitgate 3

Splitgate 3 is a continuation of the multiplayer arena shooter series that combines precision shooting with portal-based navigation. Developed by 1047 Games, the game builds upon the concepts introduced in previous titles, but shifts its focus toward structured competition, player-made content, and more diverse match formats. While preserving the core mechanics that define the franchise, Splitgate 3 introduces new systems for progression, team dynamics, and user engagement. It is designed to appeal to returning players and newcomers alike, offering familiar gameplay alongside new features.

Gameplay flow and mechanics

The main gameplay loop in Splitgate 3 remains centered around high-speed combat and the use of portals for movement and tactical advantages. Players can create a two-point link between surfaces to traverse space instantly, reposition during fights, or escape threats. This system is now supported by refined controls, clearer visual cues, and smarter AI bots for practice or filler in matches. Several new arenas have been added, each with unique structures that either emphasize or limit portal usage depending on their layout. Match pacing has been slightly adjusted to make room for strategic shifts within rounds.

Feature additions and player options

Splitgate 3 introduces a number of functional upgrades across its modes and customization systems:

•         Role-based squad selection with support, assault, and recon types
•         Public and private lobbies with customizable rule sets
•         Cross-platform progression and inventory sync
•         Portal-only challenge mode for movement-focused gameplay
•         Expanded user profile with match history and rank badges

These features support different styles of play, whether players are interested in solo competitive climbing or casual sessions with friends. The role system allows for some tactical coordination without locking players into strict class limitations. Inventory and stats are now accessible across all platforms with a single account, reducing barriers between systems.

Community tools and content sharing

Splitgate 3 places more emphasis on community-driven content. The improved map editor allows for detailed object placement, lighting adjustment, and match scripting. Players can share their creations through a new in-game browser, where content can be filtered by popularity, tags, and official recognition. Community events include design challenges and ranked showcases, where selected maps are featured in weekly rotations. This system encourages long-term engagement by allowing players to actively shape the game’s content landscape.
