Split Fiction surpasses 4 million and will be adapted for the cinema

With more than 4 million units sold in two months, Split Fiction was highlighted in the Electronic Arts financial report as one of the performance pillars of the last quarter of the 2025 fiscal year. The cooperative game developed by Hazelight Studios, by Josef Fares, was described as " fundamental " for a positive closing of the cycle.

The EA CFO, Stuart Canfield, stated in the report that the last quarter represented " a solid closure for the fiscal year, with consistent momentum across the portfolio, positioning the business for accelerated growth ". He also reinforced the company's focus for the next fiscal year:

"As we enter the 2026 fiscal year, we remain focused on disciplined execution, with innovative releases on the way."

Split Fiction is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with 10% discount for EA Play subscribers. The cooperative proposal, a trademark of Fares' studio, was once again well received by critics and the public, strengthening EA's commercial performance alongside other titles like EA Sports FC 25.

In addition to the success in sales, Split Fiction already has a film adaptation in progress. The film will star Sydney Sweeney, an actress gaining prominence in Hollywood, and will be directed by Jon M. Chu (Wicked). The script will be signed by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, known for their work on Deadpool & Wolverine.

The production is being led by Story Kitchen, a company led by Mike Goldberg and Dmitri M. Johnson, with a history in game adaptations, including Sonic, Tomb Raider, and the future Streets of Rage. The project began to attract interest from major studios during the GDC (Game Developers Conference) held in March 2025.

It is worth noting that Hazelight Studios had already experienced tremendous success with It Takes Two, winner of Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2021, and is also being adapted for the cinemas. The narrative and cooperative model that Josef Fares insists on maintaining seems established as a formula for commercial and critical success within EA.
