If you’ve been holding out for the next big co-op game after completing It Takes Two, Split Fiction should be at the top of your shopping list, now that it’s among the best Prime Day deals so far.
Amazon UK has slashed the price of Split Fiction to £30.99 on PS5 from £44.99, giving you a solid 31% off one of the year’s most imaginative and charming gaming experiences. It's also on offer for £39.95 on Nintendo Switch 2, and £34.19 on Xbox Series X|S.
The PC version for the EA Origin App, however, is still at standard pricing.
From the creators of It Takes Two and A Way Out, Hazelight Studios returned with what ended up being another banger in the co-op genre. Split Fiction is a split-screen-only adventure designed exclusively for two players, with crossplay supported on PS5, Xbox, and PC.
What makes it even better, though, is that the game also includes a Friend’s Pass, meaning your co-op partner plays for free with no extra copy required.
As for the story, if you’re unfamiliar, Split Fiction follows Mio and Zoe, two writers who don’t exactly see eye-to-eye, and get pulled into a reality-bending machine that brings their creative worlds (sci-fi and fantasy) to life.
What follows is a rollercoaster ride of platforming, puzzles, and completely unpredictable scenarios. One moment you’re leaping across a floating train in a neon-drenched city; the next, you’re riding dragons across a mythic battlefield.
But the magic here isn’t just in the set pieces. As said in our 9/10 review by Luke Reilly Split Fiction “expertly crafted and absorbing co-op adventure that pinballs from one genre extreme to another” in temrs of both gameplay and story.
With such high praise across the board from us and other outlets, Split Fiction is already a strong Game of the Year contender, which isn’t surprising since It Takes Two took that title at The Game Awards 2021.
If you’re after the latest and greatest in co-op games, £30.99 for Split Fiction’s the best example of value for money.
