Hazelight Games' latest co-op adventure, Split Fiction, is enjoying 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 the strong sales on social media, expressing their amazement at the support from both new and returning fans.
This success builds upon the game's previously reported milestone of 1 million copies sold within just 48 hours of launch. An additional million copies were sold in the following five days.
AnswerSee ResultsThe actual player count is likely significantly higher than the number of copies sold, given Split Fiction's co-op nature. Its "Friend's Pass" feature, allowing one player to purchase the game and grant free access to a friend, further amplifies its reach. With continued positive social media buzz, the 2 million sales figure is expected to climb.
This mirrors the success 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 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."
