Hazelight's beloved co-op adventure, Split Fiction, has achieved a remarkable sales milestone, reaching nearly four million copies sold. Publisher EA highlighted this success 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.
In an enthusiastic social media post, Hazelight celebrated the news, stating, "4 MILLION SOLD!!!!" They expressed their gratitude and joy, saying, "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..."
Split Fiction immerses players in the diverse worlds created by two fiction writers, delivering a groundbreaking co-op experience that allows two players to enjoy the game even if only one owns it. Launched in March, the game quickly became a hit for Hazelight and designer Josef Fares, selling over two million copies in just one week. It is also slated to be a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, as Hazelight continues to work on their next project.
Adding to the excitement, a movie adaptation of Split Fiction is in development. Story Kitchen, known for their work on the Sonic films, is assembling a team of writers, a director, and a cast that will include Sydney Sweeney.
In our IGN Split Fiction review, we praised 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."
