Hazelight's beloved co-op adventure, Split Fiction, has reached a remarkable milestone by selling nearly four million copies. Publisher EA highlighted this achievement in their latest financial report, describing the game's launch as "hugely successful" and crediting it as a key factor in their strong performance at the end of the 2025 financial year.
In an enthusiastic post on social media, Hazelight celebrated the news with the message, "4 MILLION SOLD!!!! 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 crafted by two fiction writers, offering a groundbreaking co-op experience where only one player needs to own the game. Launched in March, it quickly became another blockbuster for Hazelight and designer Josef Fares, achieving over two million sales within its first week. The game is also set to be a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, as Hazelight continues to develop their next project.
Adding to the excitement, a movie adaptation of Split Fiction is in development, with Story Kitchen, known for their work on the Sonic films, currently assembling the creative team. The cast is rumored to include Sydney Sweeney.
In our review at IGN, we praised Split Fiction as "an expertly crafted and absorbing co-op adventure that pinballs from one genre extreme to another," noting that it delivers "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."
