Hazelight’s fan-favorite co-op adventure, Split Fiction, has sold almost four million copies.
Publisher EA confirmed the milestone in its latest financial results, calling the game a “hugely successful launch” and name-checking it as one of the reasons the publisher ended the 2025 financial year with a “strong finish.”
“4 MILLION SOLD!!!!” developer Hazelight exclaimed on social media in response to the news. “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 pulls you into the many worlds of two fiction writers in a boundary-pushing co-op adventure that allows two people to play even if only one owns the game. It only launched in March, but is yet another hit for Hazelight and designer Josef Fares, selling over 2 million copies in just a week. It’s also down as a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title as Hazelight gets going on its next game.
A movie based on Hazelight’s game is also in the works, with Story Kitchen, the video game adaptation specialist behind the Sonic films, said to be assembling writers, a director, and the cast, which will include Sydney Sweeney.
We said Split Fiction was “an expertly crafted and absorbing co-op adventure that pinballs from one genre extreme to another”, writing in the IGN Split Fiction review that it was “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.”
