Split Fiction Accomplishes Impressive Sales Goal After Just One Week
After winning Game of the Year at the Game Awards with It Takes Two, Hazelight Studios has decided to tackle their latest co-op-exclusive title with the release of Split Fiction. Taking on the role of two writers, embark on a journey mixing sci-fi and fantasy as you work together with a friend throughout the experience.
The It Takes Two impressive performance seems to have struck a chord with gamers around the world. After releasing on the 6th of March, Split Fiction benefitted from the recognition and paved the way set forth by its predecessor, giving the team some great bragging rights and a great opportunity to earn a respectable spot in the Game of the Year once again.
As of the 14th of March, just eight days after the launch, Hazelight Studios announced that their latest co-op venture had sold over two million copies in just one week, an impressive number that few titles can claim, even among their entire lifespans. This massive achievement is accompanied by other accolades that aren't letting Split Fiction slow down in the slightest, setting itself apart as a memorable 2025 release.
Some of the greatest launches of 2025 — even in the form of ports or long-running franchises seeing their return — have received mixed or negative audience scores upon their launch. Monster Hunter Wilds and Rise of the Roninboth failed to impress Steam users at launch, hurting their scores and reputation due to poor performance at launch.
It is even more impressive, then, that Split Fiction has seen such wide acclaim in its release. Bolstering a 98% positive score among over 20-thousand ratings, it has been the best-reviewed title for users of 2025, and it's not even close.
The second title to get wide acclaim throughout its launch is Warhorse Studios' Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, which saw impressive numbers and a nigh-Overwhelmingly-Positive rating, just shy a few percentages from such a prestigious title. Even having more reviews than Split Fiction, everyone's return to Bohemia was passed by Hazelight Studios' all-time peak, both of which are sitting a little over 250,000 all-time concurrent members.
It's a good year for Hazelight Studios, and fans of co-op-exclusive adventures will have a great time with this latest entry. You can begin your journey across Split Fiction for £39.99, seeing as another player can join with a free Friend Pass.
