"Split Fiction Reaches 2 Million Sales in One Week"

Hazelight Games is celebrating the phenomenal launch of its latest cooperative adventure, Split Fiction, which has sold an impressive 2 million copies within just one week of its release. The game, featuring a dual-protagonist narrative, was released on March 6 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, quickly cementing its place as another successful title for the studio. Hazelight expressed their gratitude on social media, stating they are "blown away" by the overwhelming support from their community.

The sales momentum for Split Fiction has been remarkable. Initially, the game sold 1 million copies in the first 48 hours, and another million were sold in the subsequent five days. This rapid sales growth underscores the game's appeal and the effectiveness of its marketing strategy.

As a cooperative game, Split Fiction likely boasts a player base significantly larger than the number of units sold, thanks to its innovative Friend’s Pass feature. This feature allows one player to buy the game and share it with a friend at no extra cost, enhancing its reach and engagement within the gaming community. With continued buzz on social media, the sales figures are expected to climb even higher.

Hazelight's previous game, the 2021 Game of the Year winner It Takes Two, followed a similar trajectory, selling 1 million copies shortly after its launch in March 2021. By February 2023, sales had soared to 10 million copies, and by October 2024, the game had reached an astonishing 20 million copies sold.

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," highlighting its unique and engaging gameplay experience.
