Halo plus portals FPS Splitgate delays launch after surprisingly popular beta - Rock Paper Shotgun

Free-to-play FPS Splitgate was planning to move from beta to full launch tomorrow but there's been a bit of a snag.

So many people jumped in to take a turn with cross-platform team portal shooting that 1047 Games say they're delaying full launch of the game until next month while they work to scale up their available servers for all those players.

Splitgate kicked off its cross-platform open beta on July 13th and has had quite an explosion of concurrent players since.

According to Steam.db, Splitgate was pulling in about 1,400 concurrent Steam players on July 13th.

As of July 20th, 1047 Games reported breaking 50,000 concurrent players across all platforms.

1047 Games will be releasing some of what they'd planned for launch day tomororw, they say, but leaving the game technically in its open beta state.
