Get ready, gamers! Hazelight Studios, the masterminds behind the hit game It Takes Two, are bringing their latest co-op masterpiece, Split Fiction, to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 6. Priced at an accessible $49.99, you can secure your copy now by preordering from various retailers (check it out on Amazon). And here's the best part: just like Hazelight's previous titles, purchasing Split Fiction grants you a free Friend's Pass.

How Does Split Fiction’s Friend’s Pass Work?
A standout feature of Split Fiction is its mandatory co-op gameplay. You can team up in couch co-op split-screen mode or connect online with just one copy of the game. The beauty of it? It's cross-platform, so you can play with friends on different systems.
To enjoy online co-op, your friend simply needs to download "Split Fiction - Friend's Pass" from their preferred digital marketplace starting March 6. This pass is free, allowing your friend to join you in the game without any additional cost, provided you send them an invite. This system mirrors what Hazelight did with It Takes Two and A Way Out, but remember, your friend can only play if they're paired with someone who owns the game.
What Is Split Fiction?
Dive into the world of Split Fiction, a two-player co-op action-adventure game where you and a friend control a duo of writers—one specializing in sci-fi, the other in fantasy—who get pulled into their own fictional universes. Together, you'll tackle enemies and solve puzzles in levels inspired by both genres. Imagine racing on Tron-style motorcycles across gravity plates or morphing into mythical creatures in an enchanted forest.
The game also features portals to "side stories," which are essentially minigames. You might find yourself riding a "sand fish" through a desert reminiscent of Dune or water skiing behind a drone across the sea.
