Game Information

Embrace mind-blowing moments as you’re pulled deep into the many worlds of Split Fiction, a boundary-pushing co-op action adventure from the studio behind 2021 Game of the Year Winner, It Takes Two. Mio and Zoe are contrasting writers – one writes sci-fi and the other writes fantasy – who become trapped in their own stories after being hooked up to a machine designed to steal their creative ideas. They’ll have to rely on each other to break free with their memories in-tact, working together to master a variety of abilities and overcome diverse challenges while jumping between sci-fi and fantasy worlds in this unexpected tale of friendship.

Split Fiction is a unique action-adventure experience that keeps you on the edge of your couch with unexpected moments. One minute you’re taming adorable dragons and the next you’re fighting as cyber ninjas, escaping terrifying trolls, or dodging hover cars thrown by a robotic parking attendant. It’s weird, it’s wild, and it’s designed to be shared.

Grab your co-op partner and get ready to overcome any obstacle thrown your way.

Review Note:

when entering mio's story DXMT crashes the game but Turning D3DMETAL will fix it but after going back to the zoe's story again D3DMETAL will work but DXMT gives much better performance IMO. So if you wanna play you will need to switch between both options over and over, overall if you have more than 8GB you'll get decent FPS

Review Note:

Runs perfectly fine 1920x1080 with High settings. Probably running in the 60fps range with a few slowdowns in graphic intense areas. Just a few graphical glitches when there are fabrics in the wind. Had to run through Steam for PS5 controller support.

Mini M4, 32GB. Crossover 25.0.1
Runs really well with full controller support, didn't adjust any settings, and just played the game. Finished a few chapters already in one run and it was nice.
