Split Fiction Hits 2 Million Sales After Just 1 Week

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 this impressive milestone on social media, expressing their gratitude for the overwhelming support from fans.

Just 48 hours after launch, Split Fiction had already sold 1 million copies. The additional million sold in the following five days underscores the game's rapid success. Considering Split Fiction's co-op nature, the actual player count is likely significantly higher than the number of copies sold. This 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 social media buzz, sales are expected to climb even further.

This success mirrors that 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 by February 2023 and an astounding 20 million by October 2024.

In IGN's review, Split Fiction was praised as "an expertly crafted co-op adventure that pinballs from one genre extreme to another."
