"Split Fiction Surpasses 2 Million Sales in One Week"

Hazelight Games announced that their latest co-op adventure, Split Fiction, has continued its phenomenal start by selling 2 million copies within just one week of its release. Launched on March 6 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, the game has quickly cemented its status as another triumph for the studio. Hazelight expressed their gratitude on social media, stating they are "blown away" by the overwhelming support from both new and returning fans.

The studio previously shared that Split Fiction reached 1 million sales within the first 48 hours of its launch, indicating that another million copies were sold in the subsequent five days. This rapid sales growth showcases the game's strong appeal and the compelling narrative of protagonists Mio and Zoe's sci-fi journey.

As a co-op game, Split Fiction likely boasts a player base significantly larger than the number of copies sold, thanks to its innovative Friend's Pass feature. This allows one player to buy the game and invite a friend to play for free, further enhancing its reach and impact among gaming enthusiasts. The game's ongoing success and buzz on social media suggest that its sales figures will continue to climb.

Hazelight's previous title, 2021 Game of the Year winner It Takes Two, mirrored this success by selling approximately 1 million copies shortly after its March 2021 launch. The game's popularity surged, reaching 10 million copies by February 2023 and an impressive 20 million copies 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," highlighting its unique and engaging gameplay experience.
