Friend's Pass explained: buy once, play two
How It Takes Two and Split Fiction let a friend join for free, and what the limits are.
1The idea
Hazelight's co-op games are built for exactly two players. To make that easier, one player buys the game and the other downloads a free Friend's Pass.
2What the friend can do
The friend can play the full game online together with the owner. They cannot play with other people or start a session on their own.
3Accounts
Both games need an EA account linked to Steam. Set that up before game night to avoid waiting.
4Cross-platform
Split Fiction's Friend's Pass works across platforms, so a PC owner can play with a friend on console. It Takes Two's pass works within the same platform family; check the store page for details.
5Split-screen
Both games also support local split-screen, so if you are on the same sofa you only need one copy anyway.
