Hazelight Studios' beloved co-op adventure, Split Fiction, has reached a remarkable sales milestone, selling nearly four million copies. Publisher EA highlighted this achievement in their recent financial results, describing the game's launch as "hugely successful" and crediting it for contributing to a "strong finish" in the 2025 financial year.
In a jubilant post on social media, Hazelight celebrated the news with, "4 MILLION SOLD!!!! So many of you have picked up Split Fiction already, it’s amazing... Seeing the fun you have with our game and the love you show for Mio, Zoe, and each other warms our hearts here at Hazelight. And so many hot dogs made..."
Split Fiction immerses players into the diverse worlds crafted by two fiction writers, offering a groundbreaking co-op experience where two players can enjoy the game even if only one owns it. Launched in March, the game quickly became another hit for Hazelight and designer Josef Fares, selling over 2 million copies in just a week. It's also slated to be a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title as Hazelight begins work on its next project.
Adding to the excitement, a movie adaptation of Split Fiction is in development, with Story Kitchen, the studio behind the Sonic films, assembling writers, a director, and the cast, which will include Sydney Sweeney.
In our IGN Split Fiction review, we praised the game as "an expertly crafted and absorbing co-op adventure that pinballs from one genre extreme to another," noting that it "is a rollercoaster of gameplay ideas and styles that are usually discarded as quickly as they’re introduced. This keeps it fabulously fresh for its full, 14-hour duration."
British indie studio Bithell Games has laid off most of its full-time team just weeks after releasing the time-loop action title Tron: Catalyst, following unsuccessful attempts to secure funding for a new major project.
