A fan-favorite feature from It Takes Two is set to be retained in its spiritual successor, Split Fiction, but with an added advantage.

Hazelight Studios announced Split Fiction had gone gold at the end of January, and the studio delivered another piece of good news one week before the game’s release. Posted on Twitter through Hazelight Studio’s official account, the developer confirmed the anticipated title was Steam Deck verified in time for its March 6 release. Additionally, players were reminded that Split Fiction will also be Steam Native, meaning friends can invite and play with each other directly through Steam with no EA App required.

Split Fiction joins the list of anticipated games scheduled to release in 2025, sharing the ranks with Grand Theft Auto 6, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and the news was warmly received by gamers on social media who are taking part in the countdown to launch. Furthermore, Hazelight revealed the PC specs listing the minimum and recommended specifications required and also highlighted the game’s ultrawide resolution support, accessibility options, and console support, including dynamic 4k resolution and 60 frames per second on Xbox Series X and PS5, and 1080p/60fps on Xbox Series S.

Fares kept tight-lipped about whether this mystery, in-development project would be co-op or not like its predecessors, but it’s exciting to learn the next adventure is already in the pipeline.
