EA and Hazelight Studios’ newest launch Break up Fiction has already climbed its means by way of the writer’s Steam charts, and the co-op action-adventure sport is now the second most-played EA sport on the platform.
Per SteamDB, Break up Fiction’s 24-hour Steam participant peak sits at 197,434, which is fairly spectacular; it is greater than double what predecessor It Takes Two achieved, and that sport was phenomenally profitable in gross sales phrases.
The determine places Break up Fiction in second place, and whereas that is actually an achievement Hazelight and Josef Fares can have a good time, I do not suppose the sport has a hope of beating the first-place file holder on condition that it is battle royale FPS Apex Legends.
It’s price noting that since Break up Fiction’s Pal Cross permits gamers to benefit from the sport with a buddy even when they did not purchase it themselves, the Steam numbers do not essentially translate into exhausting gross sales.
Nonetheless, the identical is true of It Takes Two, so it is nonetheless a good level of comparability in my books. It is truthful to say that EA and Hazelight have a success on their fingers with Break up Fiction, and I would not be stunned if the numbers climb even greater over the weekend.
If you happen to’re not conversant in Break up Fiction, it is the newest sport from A Approach Out and It Takes Two developer Hazelight Studios, headed up by trade iconoclast and famous Oscars hater Josef Fares.
The sport sees you and a buddy (it would not help single-player, very like the aforementioned video games) taking part in as Mio and Zoe, two writers who discover themselves sucked into the worlds they’ve created and searching for a means out.
Very like It Takes Two, Break up Fiction options quite a lot of co-op-focused actions, together with platforming, fight, and numerous wacky setpieces. It is just about precisely what you’d anticipate from a Hazelight sport, it appears to me.
Break up Fiction is out there now for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Sequence X|S. You may take a look at our Erren’s assessment of the sport right here, and you’ll want to take a look at her interview with Fares in regards to the sport as nicely.
