Reasons why Hazelight Studios' latest game is raking up impressive numbers on Steam

There are a few contributing factors to Split Fiction's insane player count on Steam.

The first one is that the game was developed by the same people behind iconic hits like A Way Out and It Takes Two. These projects have set the bar high for what modern co-op games should be like and put the spotlight on the creative mind of director Josef Fares.

Another factor is that the title is much cheaper than most AAA releases nowadays. For only $50, you can get the full game and give a free copy to a friend on any platform, courtesy of the Friend's Pass feature.

While it may seem like Hazelight Studios is losing money through this feature, it makes sense, considering the developer knows the game may not be for everybody.

Another factor is that director Josef Fares has a firm stance against microtransactions, especially in his games. The lack of microtransactions makes this title much more endearing.

Fares has put a lot of thought and care into this project, and to see it blow up and be universally praised by the gaming community and his colleagues is a full-circle moment.
