Hazelight Games' latest cooperative adventure, Split Fiction, is off to a phenomenal start, 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 launch on social media, expressing their amazement at the overwhelming support from both new and longtime 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 strong initial appeal. Considering Split Fiction's cooperative nature, the actual player count is undoubtedly significantly higher than the number of copies sold. This impact 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 positive buzz on social media, the 2 million sales figure is sure to climb even higher.
This success echoes the trajectory of Hazelight's previous title, It Takes Two, the 2021 Game of the Year winner. It Takes Two sold approximately 1 million copies within a few weeks of its March 2021 launch, eventually reaching 10 million copies sold by February 2023 and an astounding 20 million by October 2024.
In IGN's review of Split Fiction, the game was praised as "an expertly crafted co-op adventure that pinballs from one genre extreme to another."
