Is there a plan for skin customization and a market like in csgo? That would be a pretty cool addition
Not on the roadmap now, but could be really cool! Maybe in the future if we hear enough community requests.

can u tell me what is the percentage of bots in the game? im sure it goes up and down as needed but on average.
On average most games dont have bots for most people or they have 1-2 max. But for high ranked players or players in low population regions, this is a bigger issue. However, with beta season 2, we have redone the entire matchmaking so bots will be way less often!
Will we ever get a dweller skin in the store?
Probably not, that was exclusive to the founders edition
Can you make the final kill sequence / the replay viewer better and longer so people can see I use sprays and inspects my weapons (people will but more and it's cool to show off!) and
Right now I can't see when my friends are inspecting their weapons in the game can you fix it too
We are hoping to redo the entire pre and post game flow soon! Hopefully before beta season 3
Any closer to launch a native PS5 version?
Closer yes! Part of Beta Season 2 includes upgrading to the latest version of Unreal Engine 4, which is required for some of the stuff we wanna do with the PS5 version.
Have you ever watched the movie GNAR? Is this where the bot name/anonymous mode name “BestSkierOnTheMountain” came from??
Do you ski or snowboard?Outside of video games, what do you enjoy doing?
What's your least favorite thing about playing Splitgate?Any updates on progress for a new weapon?
What questions do you wish people would ask you during this AMA?
I snowboard a lot (I actually live in Tahoe for this reason!). Nick, my cofounder, is a big skiier! No updates on the new weapon yet. But we have hired some more amazing weapons artists recently, including some who worked on Modern Warfare, so that we can make better guns faster!
Are there any plans to organize a professional league within Asia?
Not yet, but we are planning to expand our marketing efforts into more regions soon
Will there be new weapons, permanent gamemodes etc. in the new season?
New gamemodes yes! New weapons not yet
Would it be possible to add the option to Disable text chat just like we can disable voice chat?
How hard would it be to add “save replay” option for races?
I would love to have replays of races natively saved within the game itself just like I can with any normal match
Would it be possible to make a custom race maker? Allowing players to create custom races on any of the current maps.
That's a good idea. I will mention it to the team. Hmm I'm not actually sure how hard that would be. Will look into it. Yes in the future I would love to add that!
Will map creators ever have the ability to make race-type maps with the functionality of the dev-made races?
I would love to do this! Won't make it in by June 2 but hopefully soon!
Will there be cosmetic rewards for getting level milestones?
Not yet but there will be rewards in other ways!
Similar to how yall made takedown-specific maps with the simulation series, is there any chance yall would do maps specific to a different game mode. I'm specifically thinking about vanilla CtF and the custom version of CtF we've been playing in the Splitbuilders discord called "Bounty".
I've been hearing great things about Bounty. I think as we build more tools for map creator, we will be able to do a lot of things with cool playlists! But I don't think we yet have the resources to start making mode specific modes. We'll get there!
Pistol Swat when? :D and you know I'm always down to play some splitty
;)
Would it be possible for you to release the breakdown of player count across platforms? PC (Windows vs linux vs apple) and the various consoles?
No exact numbers but PC is definitely the smallest of the 3.
What's the plan for the official launch? Will there be a beta season 3?
Official launch largely depends on how fast we can hire. The team has been growing fast and is at about 85 people now, but we would like to get to 150ish people before we launch so that we can go BIG with launch and continue to grow from there by putting out frequent and meaningful updates.
Is it possible for a community-made map in the creator to eventually end up as a fully completed map for the main game?
Never say never! First steps would be introducing community made maps into featured playlists, which we hopefully will be able to do soon
Is there any lore you consider when developing new maps and updates? And are there plans for a story mode?
Originally no. But with the latest maps we are starting to think more about it. Lore is definitely something we are interested in exploring more
Hi Ian!Love what yall are doing in getting more itnimate with the community. I've been using the Map Creator a ton and would love to know which dev has made the best custom map? And which dev made the worst? Have you made any?
Depends on your definition of best and worst haha. I will say our level designer Sam made some awesome maps! And our gameplay engineer Ben has made some hilariously fun and funny maps like the "Great Pillar of Baba." lol
What are you most excited for S2? Why are the portal walls being changed from blue to white?
Probably the new matchmaker actually! It's gonna lead to better games and fewer bots. The portal walls aren't being changed. They are just slightly different on abyss to go with the vibe of the map.
Are there any LIMITED TIME events planned in season 2 or season 3 with mini battle passes and map changes (like Spookygate and Splitmas) ?
We definitely want to do more events and plan to do similar ones like last year! Possibly some more ones sooner too if we have time! What are some events you would like to see in addition to spookygate and splitmas?
