Hazelight Games' cooperative adventure game, Split Fiction, is experiencing phenomenal success, 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 this strong launch on social media, expressing their amazement at the overwhelming support from both new and longtime fans.
Just 48 hours after launch, Split Fiction had already reached 1 million players experiencing Mio and Zoe's sci-fi narrative. An additional million copies were sold in the following five days, demonstrating sustained momentum.

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 social media buzz, the 2 million sales figure is expected to climb even higher.
This mirrors the success of Hazelight's previous title, It Takes Two, the 2021 Game of the Year winner. It sold approximately 1 million copies within weeks of its March 2021 launch, eventually reaching 10 million by February 2023 and an impressive 20 million by October 2024.
