"Split Fiction Surpasses 2 Million Sales in One Week"

Hazelight Games is celebrating the phenomenal launch of their latest co-op adventure, Split Fiction, which has sold an impressive 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 place 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 achieved 1 million sales within the first 48 hours of its release, indicating that another million copies were sold in the subsequent five days. This rapid sales growth showcases the game's strong appeal and the engaging narrative of protagonists Mio and Zoe in their sci-fi adventure.

As a co-op game, Split Fiction's actual player engagement likely surpasses the number of units 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 extending its reach within the gaming community. As the buzz around Split Fiction continues to grow on social media, the sales figures are expected to climb even higher.

Hazelight's previous title, It Takes Two, which won Game of the Year in 2021, mirrored this success pattern. It sold approximately 1 million copies shortly after its launch in March 2021, reaching 10 million copies by February 2023, and soaring to 20 million by October 2024. This trajectory highlights Hazelight's consistent ability to create compelling cooperative gaming experiences.

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," underscoring its dynamic and versatile gameplay.
