What is Splitscreen?
A social platform for finding people to play games with. One account opens three rooms: Groups for squads and LFG, Social for communities and their weekly game nights, and Dating for finding a Player 2. Matching runs on the games you play, the rank you play them at, the hours you're online and how you like to communicate — not on a photograph. It is 18+ and currently in early access.
Do I have to upload a photo?
No. Photographs live in Dating and nowhere else, and they are optional even there — you can be in the deck without one. Groups and Social show a monogram, and your first photo only follows you into them if you switch it on. A profile is a gamertag, the games you play and three lines you wrote about yourself.
Is Splitscreen free?
Yes. Creating an account, joining squads, voice, communities, messaging and every safety control are free, and there is nothing to buy on Splitscreen today. If anything paid ever arrives it will be extras on top — never blocking, reporting, incognito or hiding your location, and never the age check.
How is this different from a Discord LFG server?
A server is one chat you have to scroll, and being early to it is most of what decides whether you get a spot. Splitscreen matches instead: squads carry a game, rank band, mode, region, start time and mic preference, and the board only offers you seats you actually qualify for. Voice is on the squad rather than an invite link, and the age gate and moderation are the platform's job rather than a volunteer's.
I only want teammates. Do I have to use the dating side?
No. Dating is off by default and stays off until you deliberately switch it on. Pick Groups on its own, or Groups and Social, and change your mind later in your account settings.
Which games can I find a squad for?
Twenty-two titles today, including Valorant, Apex Legends, Counter-Strike 2, Overwatch, Helldivers 2, Marvel Rivals, League of Legends, Dota 2, Deadlock, Rainbow Six Siege, Call of Duty, Fortnite, Rocket League, Destiny 2, Deep Rock Galactic, Monster Hunter Wilds, Sea of Thieves, Phasmophobia, Lethal Company, Palworld, Minecraft and Among Us. Competitive titles carry their own rank bands; the ones that don't rank you simply don't ask.
Do I need a microphone?
No. Every squad has a voice room, but each one states whether it wants voice always, sometimes, or not at all, and that is a filter on the board — so a text-only night is something you can search for rather than something you have to negotiate.
Who can message me?
Only someone you matched with — you both said yes, independently, and that match is the only thing that can create a thread. From there either of you may speak first. If neither of you does within 24 hours the match expires; once you have both said something it stops expiring. Text only, because there is nowhere on Splitscreen to attach anything else.
How do you keep the rooms 18+?
Every account gives a date of birth before a single room opens, and the check runs on our servers rather than in the browser, so it is not something a page can be edited past. After that, accounts carry standing that reflects how you behave, and moderators act on it.
Is Splitscreen available where I am?
It is early access, and it works anywhere — Groups and Social do not care where you are. Dating is only ever as good as who is near you, so expect it to feel thin in some places until more people are in it.
