Why Split Fiction is Taking Off
Considering its background and the track record of Hazelight Studios and EA, it’s not too unexpected that Split Fiction is gaining popularity as anticipated. They recently unveiled their third major cooperative adventure, promising even more of the exceptional co-op gameplay they’re known for, but on a grander scale. The anticipation for Split Fiction skyrocketed between its December 2024 announcement and early March 2025 release, and this enthusiasm is evident not just in widespread praise (with a Metacritic score of 91), but also in substantial player numbers. For example, during its launch weekend, it recorded over 259,000 simultaneous players on Steam, nearly four times as many as the all-time high for It Takes Two.
