| Ranked Refresh | 2026-02-13 | We polled our community over the last few weeks to gather input on proposed Ranked changes and whether we should change the game modes that currently populate the Ranked Playlist.

| SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded Launches Today. Play Free Now. | 2025-12-17 | Since our beta launch in May, players have given us clear, honest feedback about what felt right, what drifted too far from the identity of Splitgate, and what was missing from the experience.

| Performance Improvements in Splitgate: Arena Reloaded | 2025-12-17 | Hey everyone,Today we’re talking all about the performance improvements you can expect in SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded. We’ve gathered several members of the team to talk about the performance optimizations we’ve made across the game since the beta release. Spoiler alert: Arena Reloaded has had a major performance overhaul. The stuff you feel moment to moment is better across the board: fewer frame spikes, less stutter, and more consistent framerate in real matches. You’ll see it in the numbers too. PC sees big improvements in hitching and stuttering, and even last gen consoles now run at 60 FPS.We’ve got a lot to discuss, but before getting int |

| Portals With a Purpose | 2025-12-13 | Portals are the heart of Splitgate. They make our game play like nothing else, and when they shine, they create the kind of moments only Splitgate can deliver. As we rebuilt the game for SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded, we took a hard look at how portals actually feel in real matches. We wanted to keep the skill and creativity that make Splitgate special while cutting down on the parts that felt confusing or impossible to counter. That work led us to a clear pillar for Arena Reloaded: portals with a purpose.Portals should feel valuable, rewarding to use, and challenging in a way that encourages players to use them with intention. At the same time, |
| Diving Deep on Progression | 2025-12-11 | SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded brings a full rebuild of Splitgate’s progression systems. Our goals were simple. Progress should be easy to understand. Rewards should feel consistent. Long term goals should feel worth chasing. Most importantly, you should be able to make progress no matter how you choose to play.

| No Heroes. No Abilities. No Limits. | 2025-12-09 | Last week, we announced the launch of SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded on December 17 with a brand new trailer, and you may have seen this line:No Heroes. No Abilities. No Limits.For Arena Reloaded, that is not just a tagline. It is a simple promise about what Splitgate is and what it is not. No hero classes getting between you and the fight. No loadout abilities deciding a duel before it starts. No limits to the way you pick the modes, loadouts, and looks that fit how you want to play.We made several updates that bring the game closer to the arena experience players expect. These changes simplify the sandbox, reduce noise, and open up more ways to |
