‘Splitgate’ will go into maintenance mode as 1047 Games moves on to a new shooter
Sci-fi arena shooter Splitgate exploded in popularity after it hit consoles last summer, two years after it debuted on PC. It racked up more than 10 million downloads in the space of a month thanks to its blend of Halo and Portal gameplay. The fact it’s free-to-play didn’t hurt. However, developer 1047 Games is now winding down feature development, effectively putting the game into maintenance mode. Although Splitgate will move out of beta with its next update, that will be the game’s “last major iteration,” the studio said.
Splitgate became much more successful than 1047 expected. The studio attempted to turn a “college dorm dream project into a AAA game” that could compete with the biggest titles around. “But this also meant that as we’ve brought on top-tier talent from across the industry, we’ve spent a lot of our time trying to rework old content and systems that were originally built by a handful of people,” 1047 wrote in a statement. “We are, in a way, bailing water while also trying to keep everyone who bought a ticket to board our ship happy, while also trying to turn our boat into a rocket ship.”

The studio is now focused on its next project. It will again be a free-to-play shooter with portals and it’s set in the same universe. 1047 will build the upcoming game from scratch in Unreal Engine 5.
Meanwhile, Splitgate, which has now been downloaded more than 18 million times, will stay online for the foreseeable future. As a thank you to players, 1047 will add a free battle pass with an infinite number of levels and new skins and characters when the final season starts on September 15th. 1047 will continue to make fixes and roll out smaller updates for Splitgate, but the game won’t get any new features after the next big patch.
“After careful consideration and much deliberation the 1047 team has determined that in order to build the game that fans deserve — and to build it in a way that isn’t trying to retrofit our existing game — we are turning our attention away from iterative, smaller updates and going all-in to focus on a new game in the Splitgate universe which will present revolutionary, not just evolutionary, changes to the gameplay,” 1047 Games CEO and Splitgate creator Ian Proulx said in a statement. “Splitgate will remain online and supported for our dedicated community who have been the backbone of our studio from our earliest playtests on PC. Our community means everything to us and we can’t wait to share what’s next with them.”
Meanwhile, in an FAQ, 1047 acknowledged that players put time, effort and money into acquiring skins and other items. While it suggests that fans won’t be able to carry those over to the next game, “we want to reward your efforts and time in Splitgate and we take that seriously. How we will do that is not decided at this time, but know that it is something we are focused on as we discuss the next game.” It’s also not clear whether the Splitcoin virtual currency will transfer over.
Destiny 2 Servers Going Down For Maintenance Ahead Of New Hotfix Update
It’s been an exciting week for Destiny 2 fans, with Bungie outlining the Lightfall expansion and rolling out the Season of Plunder update. But the latter has coincided with a number of issues, and seemingly in response, Bungie will be taking Destiny 2 servers down for maintenance today, August 25, in order to roll out hotfix update 6.2.0.1.
Maintenance is now underway, although players can continue playing for the time being. At 3:45 PM PT / 6:45 PM ET, players will be booted offline, so be sure you wrap up anything you’re doing by then. You should then be able to log in again starting at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET, which is when the new update will be made available. Server queues are possible, so between that and the download itself (which should be relatively small), it may take some time to jump back online. Maintenance should formally conclude at 7 PM PT / 10 PM ET.
Bungie has not said what’s included in the hotfix, but there are a wide variety of problems that players have reported and the developer has acknowledged. Notably, almost all heavy grenade launchers were disabled yesterday due to an intended buff being more much powerful than intended. Resilience for Arc-subclass Titans and Warlocks is not providing as much damage resistance as it should. The catalyst quest for the seasonal Exotic fusion rifle, Delicate Tomb, is bugged and not always recording progress as it should. And a number of Exotic items, including Titans’ Icefall Mantle and the new Point-Contact Cannon Brace, have been disabled.
Genshin Impact 3.0 maintenance time and rewards
Want to know about the Genshin Impact 3.0 maintenance schedule? Before every major Genshin Impact update, Hoyoverse takes the popular anime game down for maintenance, which tends to last a few hours while the team applies all of the new content. It’s typically the only time Genshin Impact is unplayable, as the mid-patch update usually doesn’t require any downtime.
While the Genshin Impact 3.0 maintenance is ongoing, players will be unable to login to the RPG game. After it’s finished, everyone will then need to download a large game update before they can play again. These major patches can bring everything from new Genshin Impact banners, Genshin Impact events, and even completely new regions, such as Inazuma, or the upcoming new region Sumeru.
Apart from setbacks like the 2.7 update delay, the Genshin Impact maintenance period is a predictable event that happens at the same time for everyone across the globe. We’ll keep this guide updated with the latest information on any planned maintenance, as well as when we expect the game servers to come back online.
