Portal-like FPS game Splitgate is so darn popular its launch has been delayed
Splitgate, an upcoming FPS game that's kind of like a Portal-Halo mashup, has turned out so popular that its full 1.0 launch has had to be pushed back into August so that developer 1047 Games can get its servers where they need to be. The studio has also now received $10 million in funding from a venture capital firm to help support this.
Splitgate has been in early access since May 2019 but it's seen a flood of extra interest since its beta - and cross-play support with consoles - launched earlier in July. It was set to launch fully with its 1.0 release today but, as Gamespot reports, that's now been pushed back to some point next month instead so that the devs can address server congestion issues that cropped up due to the sudden surge of new players.
The game had to be taken offline for a time earlier this week and has been again now to help the devs optimise servers so they can keep up with the influx. The venture capital firm Human Capital has now given the studio $10 million in funding to help the devs expand its team and increase server capacity.
