Split Fiction Is Now EA’s Second Most Played Game on Steam

EA and Hazelight Studios’ newest launch Cut up Fiction has already climbed its means by the writer’s Steam charts, and the co-op action-adventure sport is now the second most-played EA sport on the platform.

Per SteamDB, Cut up Fiction‘s 24-hour Steam participant peak sits at 197,434, which is fairly spectacular; it is greater than double what predecessor It Takes Two achieved, and that sport was phenomenally profitable in gross sales phrases.

The determine places Cut up Fiction in second place, and whereas that is actually an achievement Hazelight and Josef Fares can have a good time, I do not assume the sport has a hope of beating the first-place report holder provided that it is battle royale FPS Apex Legends.

It’s value noting that since Cut up Fiction‘s Pal Cross permits gamers to benefit from the sport with a buddy even when they did not purchase it themselves, the Steam numbers do not essentially translate into laborious gross sales.

Nonetheless, the identical is true of It Takes Two, so it is nonetheless a good level of comparability in my books. It is honest to say that EA and Hazelight have a success on their arms with Cut up Fiction, and I would not be stunned if the numbers climb even larger over the weekend.

In the event you’re not acquainted with Cut up Fiction, it is the newest sport from A Approach Out and It Takes Two developer Hazelight Studios, headed up by trade iconoclast and famous Oscars hater Josef Fares.

The sport sees you and a buddy (it does not help single-player, very similar to the aforementioned video games) enjoying as Mio and Zoe, two writers who discover themselves sucked into the worlds they’ve created and on the lookout for a means out.

Very similar to It Takes Two, Cut up Fiction options quite a lot of co-op-focused actions, together with platforming, fight, and numerous wacky setpieces. It is just about precisely what you’d anticipate from a Hazelight sport, it appears to me.

Cut up Fiction is obtainable now for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Sequence X|S. You’ll be able to try our Erren’s assessment of the sport right here, and remember to try her interview with Fares in regards to the sport as effectively.
