Hazelight Games' latest co-op adventure, Split Fiction, is experiencing a phenomenal launch, selling 2 million copies in just one 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 impressive achievement 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.
AnswerSee ResultsThe game's co-op nature means the actual player count is significantly higher than the number of copies sold. This is further amplified by the Friend's Pass feature, allowing one player to purchase the game and grant free access to a friend. With continued positive buzz on social media, the 2 million sales figure is expected to climb even higher.
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 by February 2023 and an astounding 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."
