Splitgate: All Game Modes, Explained

Splitgate is the latest arena shooter to take the world by storm. The multiplayer title blends Halo’s combat with the Portal series’ portals, allowing for fast-paced and frenetic action that’s very difficult to put down once you start playing. The game also has a ton of different game modes to cater to its ever-growing audience, ensuring that no matter what mode you’re in the mood for, you’ll find the right one for you. Here’s everything you need to know about all Splitgate game modes.

There’s a total of 19 game modes in Splitgate, and we’ve listed all of these below. It’s worth noting that some of these are ‘special’ game modes and are brought in and out of rotation so you won’t always be able to play them.

• Team Deathmatch – Kill the enemy team to score points. First to 50 points wins.
• King of the Hill – Score points by standing inside the hill. First to 200 points wins.
