Overview

Splitgate is a “Halo meets Portal" viral video game in Beta that was officially released in August by 1047 Games. We quickly became the #1 trending game on PlayStation, XBOX, and Steam before we had to limit how many users could play. In our first 6 days, we passed 1M downloads, and hit 2M within the first two weeks. We’re now at 14M+ downloads and growing. We currently have been able to support ~120K concurrent users with the goal of this growing to great heights.

We’re looking for passionate Unreal Engine developers who can provide direct value to the player as we implement new features and fix bugs that impact gameplay. You will be able to communicate directly with the Splitgate community to gather feedback, further improve features and give players the best experience possible.
