How to get Split Fiction Friend's Pass on Steam for free

The Split Fiction Friend's Pass is a mandatory requirement for players who do not own the game to play it with their friends who own a full copy. This is in line with developer Hazelight Studios' past games, such as A Way Out and It Takes Two. Said method ensures co-op partners do not need to spend twice or get two copies to play their latest story-driven co-op action-adventure title.

With that said, the Friend's Pass is completely free of cost, and here's how PC players on Steam can grab it for free to play with their friends.

To get the Split Fiction Friend's Pass, here are the steps for Player Two to follow:

1. Log into Steam.
2. Head to the official Split Fiction page.
3. Select "Install" under the Split Fiction Friends Pass option.
4. This will add the game to the Library. Download and install the game.

Note that since both players will need access to the full experience, the Friend Pass is the full-fat 85 GB package. That said, players will need to co-op with someone who has purchased Split Fiction since they are the host. Additionally, the game is not playable solo as there is no single-player option to begin with.

The game only has Local Co-op or Online Co-op options. As such, Split Fiction Friend's Pass players cannot play through the campaign themselves for free either. This is emphasized by the fact that all set-pieces require two players to work in tandem and overcome the challenges.
