"Split Fiction Reaches 2 Million Sales in One Week"

Hazelight Games announced that their latest co-op adventure, Split Fiction, has enjoyed a stellar launch, selling 2 million copies within just one week of its release. The game, featuring a dual-protagonist narrative, hit the shelves on March 6 and is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. The studio expressed immense gratitude on social media, highlighting how the overwhelming support from both new and returning fans has "blown them away."

The sales momentum for Split Fiction was evident early on, with the game achieving 1 million sales merely 48 hours post-launch. This impressive start indicates that another million copies were sold in the subsequent five days. The game's cooperative nature suggests that the actual number of players is significantly higher than the sales figures, especially considering the Friend's Pass feature. This unique offering allows a single purchase to grant a friend free access, potentially increasing the game's reach and impact within the gaming community.

Hazelight's track record of success continues with Split Fiction, following the footsteps of their 2021 Game of the Year winner, It Takes Two. That title also saw a robust launch, selling about 1 million copies shortly after its release in March 2021. The sales of It Takes Two escalated impressively, reaching 10 million copies by February 2023 and soaring to 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," further cementing its status as a must-play title for fans of cooperative gaming experiences.
