EA launched a new RPG called Split Fiction that gamers really love. Critics praise its different gameplay style and focus on playing together with friends. The game has become a big money maker for EA and its creator, beating the numbers of the very popular It Takes Two from Hazelight Studios. According to SteamDB, Split Fiction reached 259,003 players playing at once.

The game sold over 2 million copies in just seven days after release. That doubles what Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown sold for an entire year before it was canceled. Looking back at It Takes Two, that game peaked at only 70,000 players playing at the same time, almost three years after it came out. Split Fiction ranks number 51 on Steam for most players at once, sitting right behind Rust but ahead of The Finals.

People pay full price for Split Fiction at $49.99 on Steam. This makes its success even more impressive since most other games in the top 50 let people play for free. Hazelight Studios announced these sales numbers today, showing how much players enjoy their new game compared to earlier releases.

The unusual style and focus on working together with friends help Split Fiction stand out from other recent games. Players clearly respond well to this approach, as shown by the high number of people playing and the strong early sales figures. The game continues to climb in popularity despite charging a premium price in a market full of free options.
