Hazelight Games' latest cooperative adventure, Split Fiction, is experiencing phenomenal success, selling 2 million copies in its first week. Released on March 6th for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the dual-protagonist story has quickly become another triumph for the studio. Hazelight celebrated this strong launch on social media, expressing their amazement at the overwhelming support from both new and returning fans.
Just 48 hours after launch, Split Fiction had already sold 1 million copies. An additional million copies were sold in the following five days, showcasing the game's incredible momentum. The game's cooperative nature means the actual player count is significantly higher than the number of copies sold. This is further amplified by the game's innovative "Friend's Pass" feature, allowing one player to purchase the game and grant free access to a friend. With continued social media buzz, the 2 million sales figure is only expected to climb.
This success mirrors that of Hazelight's previous title, It Takes Two, the 2021 Game of the Year winner. It Takes Two sold approximately 1 million copies within weeks of its March 2021 launch, eventually reaching 10 million copies sold by February 2023 and an impressive 20 million by October 2024.
IGN's review of Split Fiction praised it as "an expertly crafted co-op adventure that pinballs from one genre extreme to another."
