"Split Fiction: Co-op Adventure Nears 4M Sales"

Author:Kristen Update:May 17,2025

Hazelight Studios' beloved cooperative adventure, Split Fiction, has now sold nearly four million copies, a remarkable achievement that underscores the game's widespread appeal and success. Publisher EA highlighted this milestone in their latest financial results, describing the game's launch as "hugely successful" and crediting it as a significant factor in their strong finish to the 2025 financial year.

"4 MILLION SOLD!!!!" Hazelight proudly announced on social media, celebrating the news with their fans. "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…"

PlaySplit Fiction immerses players in the diverse worlds crafted by two fiction writers, offering a groundbreaking co-op experience where only one player needs to own the game. Launched in March, the game quickly became a hit, selling over two million copies in just one week. It's also set to be a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, as Hazelight continues to develop their next project.

Adding to the excitement, a movie adaptation of Split Fiction is in development. Story Kitchen, renowned for their work on the Sonic films, is currently assembling a team of writers, a director, and a cast that will feature Sydney Sweeney.

In our IGN Split Fiction review, we described the game as "an expertly crafted and absorbing co-op adventure that pinballs from one genre extreme to another." We noted 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."
