The initial excitement for Split Fiction persisted during its debut week, with the game announcing it had surpassed the two-million copy sales mark.

This follows on from news (below) that the game had moved one million copies in its first two days.

The updated sales figure comes via a post on social media:

In less than two days since its release, Split Fiction by Hazelight – an exclusive co-op title for PS5 – has surpassed sales of one million units, making it the studio’s fastest-selling game ever launched. Previously, this record was held by A Way Out, which took two weeks to achieve the same milestone, while It Takes Two managed it within a month.

In the UK, it was last week’s top-selling physical game, and an astounding 89% of you chose the PS5 version. Simply put, your support has been truly incredible!

Over the weekend, I was one among potentially millions of gamers who jumped into Split Fiction due to its cooperative nature. This game doesn’t let you play alone; it needs another gamer in your world. Lucky for us, a free Friend Pass lets anyone hop on board – even if they don’t own the original copy yet.

It’s hardly unexpected that the game is selling extremely well, considering the exceptional quality it displays. In our Split Fusion PS5 review, we gave a perfect 10/10 score and stated: “This serves as further evidence, if any was needed, that Josef Fares and his team have discovered a truly unique formula, one that enables them to delve into an extensive variety of gameplay, which is further amplified by its distinctive cooperative perspective.
