During a Q&A stream with the devs, they confirmed ranked mode would be coming within a month of launch. This is also mentioned, albeit with slightly less specificity, in the official Splitgate 2 FAQ, which claims it's "coming in the near future".

On the official Splitgate subreddit, /u/Brodrian, the Splitgate 2 community manager, confirmed we "will not have to wait until October for it" and that "it will be arriving in the next few weeks". Given that comment was made on May 22, it's safe to assume a ranked mode is imminent in Splitgate 2. Finally, the official Splitgate Twitter account revealed there will be an "update on [ranked mode] soon".

As for what the ranked mode will look like, in the aforementioned stream, the devs confirmed it would be the standard 4v4 arena mode. All the other modes, such as 24-player onslaught, gun game, and battle royale will be reserved for casual playlists only. This means you're going to want to get three of your finest sharpshooting friends together to go head-to-head with other teams in ranked to stand the best chance of climbing the ranks.
