Split Fiction has broken not one, not two, but three world records
Split Fiction is already a hit with players – having shifted 1m units in 48 hours, developer Hazelight confirmed just three days later that the game had shifted another million copies in its first week – but turns out it is record-breaking now, too.
The Guinness World Records has revealed Hazelight’s part-fantasy, part-sci-fi adventure “broke an impressive three world records within days of its release”, becoming the most played local co-op video game on Steam, the most sold local co-op video game within 48 hours of release, and most sold local co-op video game within one week of release.
The Guinness World Records organisation – which describes itself as the “global authority on all things record-breaking” – said the game “quickly cement[ed] its place in gaming history with trio of world records”.
