UPDATE 5/23: 1047 Games has brought the Splitgate 2 servers back online for testing. While the developer noted issues with monetization are still being dealt with, players should be able to go online and look for matches again.
Original Story follows.
The CEO of 1047 Games has apologized for the server issues that have caused Splitgate 2 to be temporarily taken offline. While the Splitgate 2 open beta began on May 22, many players experienced long load times, with some unable to enter multiplayer matches at all.
Splitgate 2 has been highly anticipated by many shooter fans thanks to the successful formula of the original Splitgate. While the iconic portal mechanic from the first game is back in the sequel, 1047 Games also innovated, adding factions and new weapons, maps, and modes. In addition, the game introduces The Lab, a new map creator, allowing the community to create their own original content. Unfortunately, the developer has run into some speed bumps with the open beta release, causing the game to be taken offline while fixes are implemented.
