Those that are enjoying Splitgate will no doubt be frustrated whenever the game's servers are unresponsive or the game is down for maintenance. While you no doubt want to get back into this game that's best defined as “Portal meets Halo,” sometimes Splitgate will be down. Let's take a look at the Splitgate server status and whether there's anything you need to do.
To find out the current Splitgate server status, follow the game's official Twitter account. The developers use this profile as a primary method of communication, and often share updates about the game's server status there. Splitgate servers may be taken down from time to time as the developers at 1047 Games address issues and perform maintenance. With the game currently being in beta, servers may come down more frequently, and may remain down for extended periods of time. If you’re attempting to log into Splitgate and are receiving errors, it’s likely due to the servers being down.
Servers have been a big talking point for Splitgate. The developers shared that the game could only support up to 65,536 players. After receiving a huge funding donation, the game’s release date was pushed so that 1047 Games could further improve servers. Given this information, it's reasonable to expect some downtime for scaling and maintenance.
Splitgate has also become an increasingly popular game, with several hundred of thousand players downloading the open beta. Because of that, an overload of players on the servers could also cause them to go down.
There’s a handful of factors that could lead to the Splitgate servers being down, from scheduled maintenance to an overload of players. As mentioned earlier, it’s a good idea to follow the game’s Twitter account, where the developers often give updates on server status.
