The team from 1047 Games, by the way, decided not to remain silent amid the heated debates on the web around their latest release Splitgate: Arena Reloaded — the developers spoke directly about the Steam Charts data. In fact, the portal shooter was officially relaunched on December 17, 2025, and although the peak online counter froze at around 2,300 users, the studio is confident that these figures do not show the real state of affairs at all.
«You know, Steam Charts doesn’t know how to measure the thrill of gameplay,» Splitgate representatives wrote quite audaciously on their social networks. In fact, the service monitors only one site at a particular second, completely ignoring the big picture — apparently, the authors were offended by attempts to bury the project based on Valve’s bare numbers.
It should be understood that Steam Charts pulls up information through the library.NET SteamKit, but — and this is critical — the service does not focus on those who log in through the Epic Games Store or sit on consoles and mobile phones.
Interestingly, such a strong reaction from 1047 Games is a response to the controversial reception of Arena Reloaded, which was an attempt to correct the mistakes of the disastrous launch of Splitgate 2. And here’s the most curious thing: some fans praise the updated shooting and the movie, but skeptics are trumpeting the imminent death of the shooter. It’s a shame, of course, but Arena Reloaded didn’t even come close to the results of June 2025 — then Splitgate 2 gathered an impressive 25,000 people at the start at the same time.nnDevelopers’ plansnIn fact, the 1047 Games studio turned out a huge amount of work in just six months — the guys completely rebuilt the project, simultaneously optimizing the team for the sake of insane efficiency. The head of the office, Ian Proulx, is now pushing his line: mechanics must be at least 80% ready before they are seen by the public.nnThey rely on endless playtests and feedback from the community. In 2026, apparently, we will be inundated with content — fresh locations, guns and, in truth, the long-awaited control refinement on the gamepads is on the way. It makes sense that the beta keys will be distributed in Steam news every month — you definitely shouldn’t miss this.nnBattle Pass and tournamentsnPuzzling, the old Battle Pass went into oblivion with the completion of the beta, so get ready — the new season will burst into the game simultaneously with the Team Deathmatch and Classic Arena modes. For leveling up, by the way, they give out fat rewards: from custom looks for portals to guns like pulse rifles with a reloading function.nnThe fastest way to farm experience is in King of the Hill — a proven way. Regarding esports, major events will return only in the spring of 2026. In fact, registration for the tournaments will open through the official 1047 Games resource, and the first prizes will be unique faction sets.nnWhat is Splitgate: Arena Reloaded?
In practice, Arena Reloaded is the result of a tough six-month development marathon that the studio embarked on after Splitgate 2 was literally blown to smithereens. Recall that last summer the game had to be urgently returned to beta status due to a wild haight: players were infuriated by horse prices in the store, a dubious «royal battle» and a series of stupid PR posts.nnAs a result, by the end of 2025, the project was rolled out again, but with radical changes — the developers completely cut out the factions and skills, added a pack of new maps and shook up the leveling system. By the way, the official Splitgate account has already teased the return of the redesigned Battle Royale mode — it is promised to be launched at the end of January 2026. It seems that 1047 Games intend to go all the way, despite the small numbers on Steam — it’s super and not so bad!
