Hazelight’s ‘Split Fiction’ Sells One Million Copies in Just 48 Hours
Hazelight Studios’ newest co-op adventure game, Split Fiction, has reached an incredible milestone. The game has sold over one million copies within the first 48 hours of its release, setting a new record for the studio. This impressive achievement shows how much players are enjoying the game and how quickly it has gained popularity.
The news was shared by Hazelight’s official account on BlueSky, a social media platform. The account posted: “The love you all show for our game is overwhelming! 😍 Everyone here at Hazelight are beyond happy – and we can’t stop enjoying your amazing reactions! 🤩”

This milestone is even more impressive when you consider that each copy of Split Fiction comes with a “Friend’s Pass.” This pass allows the player to invite a friend to play the entire game in co-op mode for free, even if that friend does not own the game.
While not everyone may use this feature, it’s likely that many players are sharing the game with others. This means that the total number of people enjoying Split Fiction could be much higher than the one million copies sold.
For comparison, Split Fiction’s success is much faster than Hazelight’s last hit game, It Takes Two. It Takes Two was also a cooperative game that did well with players, but it took a full month to reach the one million copies sold milestone. Hazelight’s ability to achieve this feat so quickly with Split Fiction shows just how much players are excited about this new game.
Studio head Josef Fares shared his thoughts on It Takes Two’s success when it hit the one million mark, saying that it proved players love co-op games. The success of Split Fiction further proves that co-op gameplay is becoming more popular with gamers.
Split Fiction is a co-op game where players must work together to solve puzzles and overcome challenges. Our review of the game called it “a rollercoaster of constantly refreshed gameplay ideas and styles – and one that’s very hard to walk away from.”
The success of Split Fiction shows that Hazelight Studios has once again created a game that players are eager to experience.
With its innovative gameplay and co-op features, the game has captured the attention of both new and returning players. Fans of co-op games are excited, and the game’s quick sales numbers prove that people love playing together.
