Beta Season 1 Patch Notes | January 27th, 2022

1.27.2022

Beta Season 1 has been a long time coming, for both us at 1047 Games and for the Splitgate community! 5 months ago in August, we released Beta Season 0 with Karman Station, its Battle Pass, and a few other additions like the Contamination game mode. Since then we've released multiple mid-season updates, but nothing quite like today. First, watch the BS1 Official Trailer if you haven't seen it yet, and then we'll jump right into the patch notes!
