Split Fiction: A Co-op Sci-Fi Adventure Launches March 6th

Get ready for Split Fiction, a cooperative sci-fi adventure from Hazelight Studios (creators of It Takes Two) arriving on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 6th. Preorders are open now, priced at $49.99 (check Amazon for availability). Following the tradition of Hazelight's previous titles, each purchase includes a free Friend's Pass, allowing a friend to join the co-op experience at no extra cost.

Where to Buy Split Fiction

• PS5: Amazon ($49.99), Best Buy ($49.99 - includes free keychain), GameStop ($49.99), Walmart ($49.99), PS Store ($49.99)
• Xbox Series X|S: Amazon ($49.99), Best Buy ($49.99 - includes free keychain), GameStop ($49.99), Walmart ($49.99), Xbox Store ($49.99)
• PC: Steam ($49.99), Epic Games Store ($49.99)

Unlike many recent releases, Split Fiction offers only a standard edition, foregoing multiple, pricier versions. However, Best Buy offers a retailer-exclusive preorder bonus: a free Split Fiction keychain.

Understanding the Friend's Pass

Split Fiction is exclusively a co-op experience; single-player is not an option. Playable via split-screen couch co-op or online co-op (cross-platform compatible!), only one copy of the game is needed. Your friend simply downloads the free "Split Fiction - Friend's Pass" from their preferred digital marketplace on March 6th after receiving an invite from the game owner. This mirrors the successful Friend's Pass system used in It Takes Two and A Way Out. Note: the Friend's Pass requires a connection to a game owner's purchased copy.

What Awaits in Split Fiction?

Split Fiction plunges two writers—one sci-fi, one fantasy—into their own creations. Players collaborate to overcome challenges and puzzles across diverse sci-fi and fantasy levels. Expect thrilling moments like riding futuristic motorcycles and transforming into magical beings. "Side stories," acting as minigames, add extra layers of fun, such as sand-fish riding and drone-powered water skiing.
