EA and Hazelight Studios’ newest launch Break up Fiction has already climbed its method by the writer’s Steam charts, and the co-op action-adventure recreation is now the second most-played EA recreation 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 recreation 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 report holder provided that it is battle royale FPS Apex Legends.
Hazelight’s Break up Fiction is doing fairly properly at launch.It’s value noting that since Break up Fiction’s Buddy Go permits gamers to benefit from the recreation 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 honest to say that EA and Hazelight have successful on their fingers with Break up Fiction, and I would not be shocked if the numbers climb even increased over the weekend.
In the event you’re not acquainted with Break up Fiction, it is the most recent recreation from A Means Out and It Takes Two developer Hazelight Studios, headed up by business iconoclast and famous Oscars hater Josef Fares.
The sport sees you and a buddy (it would not assist single-player, very like the aforementioned video games) enjoying as Mio and Zoe, two writers who discover themselves sucked into the worlds they’ve created and in search of a method out.
Very similar to It Takes Two, Break up Fiction options a wide range of co-op-focused actions, together with platforming, fight, and numerous wacky setpieces. It is just about precisely what you’d count on from a Hazelight recreation, it appears to me.
Break up Fiction is obtainable now for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Sequence X|S. You may take a look at our Erren’s overview of the sport right here, and make sure you take a look at her interview with Fares concerning the recreation as properly.
