Hazelight Games' latest co-op adventure, Split Fiction, is enjoying a phenomenal launch, selling 2 million copies in its first week. Released on March 6th for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the dual-protagonist story quickly became another triumph for the studio. Hazelight celebrated the strong launch on social media, expressing their astonishment at the overwhelming support from both new and returning fans.

Just 48 hours after launch, Split Fiction had already sold 1 million copies. An additional million copies were sold in the following five days, highlighting the game's rapid growth in popularity.

The game's co-op nature means the actual player count is significantly higher than the number of copies sold. This is further amplified by the Friend's Pass feature, allowing one player to purchase the game and grant free access to a friend. With continued positive social media buzz, the 2 million sales figure is expected to climb even higher.

Split Fiction's 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 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."
