Splitgate is implementing peer-to-peer (P2P) servers as part of its end-of-life plan, ensuring the original game remains playable even after official servers are shut down. The developer 1047 Games directly acknowledged the StopKillingGames movement as part of the motivation behind the decision. The studio said it has seen the ongoing conversations around preserving online games and wants to make sure players do not lose access to a title they have invested time and passion into. Starting with the server shutdown, the original game transitions to player-hosted matches through P2P networking, allowing fans to continue playing multiplayer matches without relying on centralized infrastructure. The developers are also unlocking cosmetics and preserving core content so the experience remains intact. This is exactly the kind of responsible end-of-life planning many players have been asking for across the industry. This should be standard practice for online-only titles
