EA and Hazelight Studios' latest release Split Fiction has already climbed its way through the publisher's Steam charts, and the co-op action-adventure game is now the second most-played EA game on the platform.
Per SteamDB, Split Fiction's 24-hour Steam player peak sits at 197,434, which is pretty impressive; it's more than double what predecessor It Takes Two achieved, and that game was phenomenally successful in sales terms.
The figure puts Split Fiction in second place, and while that's certainly an achievement Hazelight and Josef Fares can celebrate, I don't think the game has a hope of beating the first-place record holder given that it's battle royale FPS Apex Legends.
It is worth noting that since Split Fiction's Friend Pass allows players to enjoy the game with a friend even if they didn't buy it themselves, the Steam numbers don't necessarily translate into hard sales.
Still, the same is true of It Takes Two, so it's still a fair point of comparison in my books. It's fair to say that EA and Hazelight have a hit on their hands with Split Fiction, and I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers climb even higher over the weekend....
