What to Expect in Splitgate 2’s Open Alpha Test

According to Lead Writer Nate Dern in an interview with the PlayStation Blog, the Open Alpha will feature crossplay and introduce players to a thrilling new 24-player mode called Multi-Team Portal Warfare. In this mode, three teams of eight will battle it out on *Splitgate*’s largest map yet, experimenting with new weapons, perks, and equipment amidst the game's signature fast-paced action.
