Split Fiction has not only received record-breaking press and player approval — it has entered the Guinness Book of World Records.
A cooperative hit went viral very quickly and has now officially gone down in history. Just a week after its release, the Hazelight project broke three Guinness World Records that seemed to have been created just for it.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Split Fiction has become:
- The most popular local cooperative game on Steam by the number of simultaneous players
- The best-selling local cooperative game in the first 48 hours after the release
- The best-selling local cooperative game in the first week after release
Not surprisingly, the game has set records, as it gathered 197,434 simultaneous players on Steam in the first 24 hours. Sales are likely to grow further. Hazelight previously released A Way Out and It Takes Two, which also conquered gamers, but Split Fiction managed to outperform its predecessors.
Of course, Guinness recognition does not always determine the absolute superiority of a game. For example, there are quite specific achievements among the records, such as «the worst dialog in a video game» (Resident Evil, 1996) 
The phrase sounded like this: «Here’s a lockpick. It might be handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you» or even «the first game where you can play as a wolf» (Wolf). But this does not change the fact that Split Fiction has captured the audience.
Split Fiction is also set to get a new lease of life on the big screens. Hazelight has already confirmed that Split Fiction will be used as a basis for a movie, although there are few details yet.
