The highly anticipated co-op adventure, Split Fiction, is just days away from its official launch, and Hazelight Studios has confirmed its Steam Deck verification. This means players can seamlessly enjoy the game on the go, thanks to Valve's rigorous testing process.  Split Fiction will also be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, and PC.

The game follows the intertwined journeys of authors Mio and Zoe, who find themselves inexplicably trapped within the narratives of their own stories. This unlikely duo must collaborate to navigate a blend of fantasy and science-fiction worlds, overcoming platforming challenges and battling enemies using Hazelight's signature split-screen co-op gameplay.

A beloved feature from Hazelight's previous hit, It Takes Two, makes a welcome return in Split Fiction. The Steam Deck verification, announced via the studio's official Twitter account, ensures a smooth and optimized experience for portable players.  Additionally, the game being Steam Native allows for effortless friend invites and direct play through the Steam platform, bypassing the need for the EA App.

Just a week before its March 6th release, Hazelight Studios also confirmed that Split Fiction had 'gone gold'.  Joining the ranks of highly anticipated 2025 releases like Grand Theft Auto 6, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33,  Split Fiction has generated considerable excitement within the gaming community.  Hazelight also revealed the PC specifications, outlining both minimum and recommended requirements, and highlighted the game's ultrawide resolution support, accessibility options, and console enhancements. Players can expect dynamic 4k resolution and a smooth 60 frames per second on Xbox Series X and PS5, with 1080p/60fps on Xbox Series S.

Riding on the immense success of It Takes Two, Split Fiction is poised to deliver another captivating two-player experience.  While anticipation builds for this upcoming adventure, Hazelight Studios has already begun work on their next project. Studio founder Josef Fares confirmed this development, intriguingly hinting that the studio's future might not exclusively focus on co-op titles, despite the genre's strong association with the developer.  While details remain scarce, the prospect of a new, potentially distinct direction for Hazelight is certainly exciting.
