Where to pre-order Split Fiction
There is currently only one edition of Split Fiction. There are no deluxe or collector's editions to choose from, which on the one hand is a bit disappointing for those who would have been willing to spend a little more for a few extras, but on the other hand it also keeps things simple. Just place your pre-order and wait until March 6th arrives and you can start playing.
Split Fiction's price may be the best part of the reveal, and may be a detail you missed until you read it. Hazelight's next game is just $50a full $20 cheaper than what has become the industry standard this generation. Of course, there's no word yet on how much game you'll get for it, but I'm pretty confident that Split Fiction will easily be worth $50.
Shared fiction
Split Fiction is a unique action-adventure experience that captivates you with unexpected moments. It's strange, wild and meant to be shared. So grab your co-op partner and get ready to overcome every obstacle thrown your way.

Okay, the $50 price tag for Split Fiction isn't the absolute best thing about the game, although the only thing better is the adjacent price. One of the main reasons “It Takes Two” is so successful is that two people only need one copy. Even if you're on the other side of the world, you can play It Takes Two with someone without both of you having to own the game.
Hazelight has retained this very popular feature for Split Fiction. It appears that the co-op mode will work the same as It Takes Two.

This is something to look forward to and you don't have to wait long because Split Fiction will be released on March 6, 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
