  • Most sold local co-op video game within 48 hours of release with one million units sold
  • Most sold local co-op video game within one week of release

These accomplishments are truly remarkable, and they’re certain to improve even further as the game continues to sell more copies.

In terms of critical acclaim, TopMob’s review for Split Fiction was overwhelmingly favorable. They declared that, among contemporary studios specializing in cooperative games, Hazelight stands out as the absolute best. The game is consistently brimming with excitement, beauty, joy, and even a touch of the absurd, making it more than worthy to be placed alongside its spiritual predecessor as one of the top two-player experiences on current-generation systems.
