Given the scale of success that 2021’s It Takes Two enjoyed, the fever-pitch hype leading into Split Fiction’s recent launch has certainly been understandable, and unsurprisingly, it’s resulted in impressive player numbers for the co-op title right off the bat.
As per SteamDB, Split Fiction hit an impressive peak of 197,434 concurrent players on Steam on Friday, the day after its release. That’s more than twice the all-time concurrent player count peak for the aforementioned It Takes Two (which sits at 71,039 players). It should be interesting to see whether the action-adventure title continues to see increasing numbers over the course of its launch weekend, as often tends to be the case with major releases.
In our review of Split Fiction, we gave the game a score of 7/10, praising its gameplay variety, puzzle design, and side content, but reserving criticism for the storytelling and writing. Read the full review through here.
Split Fiction is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
