Is Splitgate 2 getting a Ranked mode soon?

Everything points to competitive mode coming to Splitgate 2, and pretty soon. In community streams, the devs said the ranked playlist is on track to land within a month of launch. That timeline places this mode landing sometime in summer 2025 for players eager to queue 4v4 against equally hyped squads.

Expect classic 4v4 arena-style matches, no BR chaos or 24-person free-for-all. The goal is a tight, competitive loop that rewards coordination and skill. Casual and chaotic modes stay in their lane – Ranked mode is all about structured, tension-filled clashes.

What does this mean for players?

If you’re a veteran of the first Splitgate’s ranked grind, this is good news. Splitgate 2 should soon deliver on that competitive promise. A 4v4 competitive mode lets friends squad up and fight for ranks, leaderboards, and that sweet itch of improving. Plus, it’s a clear signal that 1047 Games is maintaining a competitive live service mindset, not just chasing microtransactions and battle royale hype.

The wait might sting a bit, but the payoff is expected to be a proper competitive mode in Splitgate 2, sculpted for sweat, strategy, and reward.
