REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – March 6, 2025 – The masters of cooperative gaming are back! Today, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and Hazelight Studios invite players to embark on a thrilling two-player journey in Split Fiction.  Available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the EA App for $29.99, the game has garnered universal acclaim, receiving perfect scores from over 26 publications, including Variety, TechRadar, and GameSpot, who hailed it as a 'humorous, heartwarming, and joyous new paradigm in cooperative gaming.'  Currently, Split Fiction reigns as the highest-rated game of 2025.

In Split Fiction, players take on the roles of Mio and Zoe, two ambitious writers trapped within a machine that steals their creative ideas. To escape this simulated world born from their own writing, they must overcome their differences and work together, exploring new mechanics and abilities in each level. From escaping a supernoving sun and challenging monkeys to dance-offs, to mastering hoverboard tricks and battling mischievous kittens, players will experience diverse gameplay, including platforming, puzzle-solving, gravity bike racing against sharks, and more.

As they traverse diverse environments, players will discover hidden portals leading to 'Side Stories' – short adventures that take Mio and Zoe into their drafts and creative concepts, introducing even more unexpected gameplay twists.  Don't miss the chance to scale mountains inhabited by giants, surf the desert on the backs of sand sharks, or waterski behind a flying train.

“Split Fiction is a testament to the power of pure, unadulterated fun in gaming,” said Jeff Gamon, General Manager, EA Partners. “Josef and the incredible team at Hazelight have once again proven themselves to be masters of the cooperative adventure genre. I’m confident that players, their friends, and families will be captivated by this extraordinary two-player experience.”

Play Split Fiction locally or online with a friend using the Friend’s Pass, a signature Hazelight Studios feature that allows anyone who owns the full game to invite a friend to play for free.  The Friend’s Pass, like the main game, supports cross-platform play across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

Split Fiction is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the EA app for $29.99. The game is rated ESRB TEEN and PEGI 16.
