Available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, Split Fiction will soon be joining the Nintendo Switch 2 lineup when the new console launches on June 5. This move is expected to introduce the beloved co-op title to a fresh wave of gamers eager for story-driven, multiplayer experiences on the go.
However, the celebration has been tempered by controversy surrounding the game’s physical release on the Switch 2. A social media post by Nintendeal recently revealed that the physical box version of Split Fiction may not include an actual game card, instead requiring players to download the title digitally. This trend, while increasingly common across the gaming industry, has sparked backlash among collectors and fans who prefer tangible media.
Despite the criticism, the game’s commercial success is undeniable. Within just a week of its launch, Split Fiction had already moved over two million copies, and the momentum hasn’t slowed. Hazelight Studios took to Twitter to thank fans and celebrate this latest milestone, reinforcing the game’s reputation as a must-play experience.
Many attribute the game’s rapid success to its compulsory two-player design, immersive narrative, and commitment to shared gameplay moments—something that has clearly resonated with players worldwide.
As Split Fiction prepares to expand its reach to Nintendo’s next-gen system, the future looks bright—though some fans still hope for a more collector-friendly approach in future physical releases.
