Split Fiction Achieves One Million Sales Milestone in Just Two Days, Breaking Hazelight's Previous Records
Hazelight Studios, led by acclaimed game director Josef Fares, has announced that their latest cooperative adventure title, Split Fiction, has surpassed one million copies sold within just two days of its official release. The studio shared this exciting news via their official Bluesky account, reflecting the immense anticipation and enthusiasm the gaming community has shown towards their newest project.
The game's remarkable commercial success can largely be attributed to Hazelight Studios' previous titles, notably It Takes Two and A Way Out, which established the studio as a leading name in cooperative gaming. It Takes Two, which received numerous awards and critical acclaim, has sold over 23 million copies globally, significantly surpassing the already impressive 11 million sales milestone of their earlier title, A Way Out.
Split Fiction's popularity is also clearly visible in its player engagement metrics. According to data from SteamDB, the new title has reached an impressive peak of approximately 259,000 concurrent players shortly after launch. This number easily surpasses the concurrent player peaks of Hazelight's previous games, where It Takes Two peaked at 71,000 concurrent users, and A Way Out at around 8,500 concurrent users. With the weekend approaching, analysts expect these figures to rise even further, potentially setting another new record for the studio.
Critical reception of Split Fiction has also been overwhelmingly positive, with the game currently holding an outstanding Metacritic score of 91, further cementing its place as one of the most acclaimed titles released this year.
Hazelight Studios continues to push the boundaries of cooperative storytelling and innovative gameplay mechanics, reinforcing its strong reputation among gamers and critics alike. With such an incredible start, Split Fiction appears set for sustained success and could potentially exceed the sales records established by its predecessors.
