Hazelight Studios’ Split Fiction started strong at launch, with over 197,000 concurrent players on Steam. However, it recently surpassed that, reaching 254,756 concurrent players at this time of writing per SteamDB.
It’s already more than tripled the peak concurrent count for It Takes Two, the developer’s last co-op smash hit, but that’s not all. Split Fiction actually has the second-highest player count for an Electronic Arts-published game on Steam, beating the likes of EA Sports FC 25, Battlefield 5 and more, falling only behind Apex Legends. Considering the latter is free-to-play, that’s pretty impressive.
Neither Hazelight nor EA have confirmed sales numbers for the title, so stay tuned for updates in the coming days. Alongside PC, Split Fiction is available for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The story is about 12 to 14 hours long and the Friend’s Pass lets those who own the game invite a friend to play for free.
