Split Fiction, a newly released online co-op action-adventure, has skyrocketed to the top of Steam’s global Top Sellers list. Developed by the creators of It Takes Two, it has outperformed major AAA titles and even the Steam Deck in sales.

Steam’s Top Sellers list ranks games by total revenue, meaning Split Fiction competes not just with premium releases but also with free-to-play games packed with microtransactions. Despite its $49.99 price tag, its success is fueled by the Friend Pass feature, which lets players share access with a co-op partner—no extra purchase required.

Player-Friendly Approach

Unlike most modern games, Split Fiction has no microtransactions. The developer has confirmed it will stay that way, following the same player-friendly model as It Takes Two. This decision has likely contributed to its impressive ranking on Steam’s list.

Success Factors

  • No microtransactions, staying true to a player-friendly model.
  • Features a Friend Pass, allowing shared access with a co-op partner without additional purchases.
  • Strong launch and substantial player engagement.

With a strong launch and massive player engagement, Split Fiction has firmly established itself as a breakout success in today’s gaming landscape. To learn more about its features and sales performance, visit the official Steam page.
