SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded News

What You Get:

Eliminate a dev and unlock the iconic Dev Killer skin, decked out in skulls to mark your victory.
There are 3 different skins, one for each faction and you’ll earn the skin that matches the dev you kill, regardless of your own faction.



How to Spot a Dev:

• Their head is a disco ball (our logo!).
  
• They’ll also have a special developer name tag.
  

Event Schedule:

• Friday June 27, 2025 1:00 PM PT - 5:00 PM PT
  
• Playlist: Splitgate Battle Royale
  
• All devs will be dropping during this window, this is your best shot.
  

Not lucky? No worries, we'll try to jump into matches all weekend, so keep hunting.

See you there!

For a limited time, earn special cosmetics by playing the new game mode Graffiti!

In this mode, it’s a race to claim portal walls by “tagging” them with your portal gun and then traveling through them. To give the event some extra shine, the SSL hired the Aeros graffiti artist Iris to give the Ozone map a new paint job – it’s street art meets stratosphere! Tag walls, split through them, complete Graffiti matches, and earn rewards. Let the tagging begin!

Tagging Tactics runs June 23 - July 3.
