Split Fiction Celebrates 4 Million Copies Sold, With a Movie and Switch 2 Launch on the Way

In a game reminiscent of split-screen TVs—but absolutely not last-gen—Split Fiction is proving to be one of the most entertaining games you can play with your best friend, your sibling, or even some random person off the street (just get someone to play with you).

For those not in the loop, Split Fiction is a co-op game about two writers selected to become published authors at a mysterious publishing company. The only catch? They have to step into a device that literally floats them into their own storylines. And naturally, there’s a twist: nefarious schemes are happening behind the scenes, and only one of the writers, Mio, starts to realize what’s really going on. She and fellow author Zoe must escape the twisted worlds of their imagination and make it back to reality before the company steals everything they’ve created.

So yeah, it’s no wonder this game is celebrating 4 million copies sold—this might just be Hazelight Studios’ best game yet, even after It Takes Two. The success has even surprised the devs themselves.

“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…”

Honestly, iconic.

Even more wild? The game sold over 2 million copies in just its first week, and now sits at 4 million+—with more to come. Plus, it’s officially going to be a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, so even more players will be able to join the fun on next-gen hardware.

Movie Adaptation Already in the Works

But wait, there’s more! A movie based on Split Fiction is already in development with Story Kitchen, the video game adaptation specialists behind the Sonic the Hedgehog films. And rumor has it, Sydney Sweeney might be involved in the cast. Yes, that Sydney Sweeney.

Final Thoughts

So, can we say Split Fiction was a raging success? Honestly, yes. It’s not every day we get a co-op game this well-crafted, this heartfelt, and this original. A game where you’re literally sucked into worlds of imagination and have to fight your way out? It’s a fresh take—one the gaming community needed after years of nothing but battle royales and gritty FPS grindfests.
