Hazelight's Split Fiction Surpasses 4 Million Sales, Cementing Success as Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Title Hazelight Studios, renowned for their work on the acclaimed cooperative adventure It Takes Two, has achieved another significant milestone with their latest title, Split Fiction.

Released as one of the flagship launch games for the Nintendo Switch 2, Split Fiction has already surpassed 4 million units sold, confirming its status as a major hit for both the developer and Nintendo's next-generation platform. Following in the footsteps of Hazelight's earlier success, Split Fiction was launched alongside the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5th.

The title quickly became an early favorite on the eShop and in physical retail outlets.

Within just two days of its release, the narrative-driven co-op adventure had already sold over one million copies, and by the end of its first week, that figure had doubled to an impressive two million units. This rapid ascent was further highlighted when Hazelight Studios announced via their official BlueSky social media channel on May 6, 2025, that Split Fiction had eclipsed the 4 million mark.

The studio expressed gratitude towards its dedicated fan base, stating that seeing players enjoy the adventures of main characters Mio and Zoe—and the camaraderie fostered by the game's design—has been immensely rewarding for the entire team. Hazelight wrote that the response to Split Fiction has been overwhelming, with the studio touched by the love and excitement shown by players around the world.

The engaging cooperative gameplay—a hallmark of Josef Fares and his team—combined with the expanded reach of the Nintendo Switch 2, undoubtedly contributed to the title’s remarkable sales trajectory. Split Fiction's status as a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title underscores the strategic collaboration between Hazelight and Nintendo, offering a fresh cooperative experience to the platform’s growing audience.

The title's widespread availability through the Switch 2 eShop, along with prominent features in Nintendo Direct presentations, has driven substantial visibility and engagement within the Nintendo community and beyond. The continued success of Split Fiction marks another memorable achievement for Hazelight Studios, further solidifying the developer’s reputation for innovative, emotionally resonant cooperative adventures.

As Nintendo Switch 2 builds its library and player base, Split Fiction stands out as an early-generation highlight, demonstrating the enduring appeal of story-driven gameplay and cooperative mechanics in the next era of Nintendo gaming.
