Summary
Splitgate: Arena Warfare has a TrueGG Rating of 93.4%, based on all-time reviews from players with 5+ hours (68,751 reviews) because recent reviews are few. Steam's overall rating is 91.4%.
Reviews written under 2 hours make up 10% of the total, with 74% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.
Beyond the first hours, approval is fairly even across playtime.
Negative reviews most often mention servers (more than at launch), updates and the developers, and player base and matchmaking. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels.
Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 90.2%, similar to all languages.
Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (91.2% adjusted), so Steam's number is not noticeably distorted by key giveaways or throwaway reviews.
All figures come from Steam's public review counts, and topics are counted with our published dictionary (no AI). Data as of 2026-10-19.
Why it is rated this way
Complaints center on live operations and online play (Servers & connection, Updates & developers, Player base & matchmaking). These shift over time, so weigh recent reviews more than the all-time figure. It is also a game many people bounce off early (early reviews are much less positive than those of players who stuck with it).
