Split Fiction has etched its name in the annals of gaming history by breaking new ground for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam among paid titles. The developers have masterfully captured the imagination of the gaming community with a stellar launch that surpassed all expectations.
Since its debut on PC via Steam, Split Fiction has soared to unprecedented heights, particularly when stacked against other EA releases. Data sourced from SteamDB reveals that the game hit an all-time high with over 197,000 concurrent players.
