According to Push Square, Split Fiction became the number-one-selling physical game in the UK for the week ending on March 8, 2025. That's a big feat for any title, but it's all the more impressive considering the game had only been out for a few days by the end of that reporting period.


In taking the top spot, Split Fiction also managed to dethrone Monster Hunter Wilds in the region

It's worth noting that these sales figures don't include digital copies, so it's unclear if Hazelight was able to topple Monster Hunter in terms of all sales or if that only applies to disc versions. Still, Split Fiction surpassed 197,000 concurrent players on Steam in its first 24 hours, so its digital sales are likely also doing fairly well.


As far as console sales go, PlayStation users seem to have taken a particular liking to the game. According to the Push Square report, PS5 copies accounted for 89% of Split Fiction's physical sales in the UK

While this is just one market, things are looking good for Split Fiction. The game is already setting records for its studio and publisher, and it hasn't even been out for a full week.
