The app lets players explore the game\u2019s universe through collectibles that unlock in-game rewards when Splitgate 2 launches. It also features quizzes and a new comic series called Splitgate: The Games We Play. The five-issue series will flesh out the backstory of the characters featured in the announcement trailer and additional issues will arrive monthly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Splitgate 2 launches in 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
