Split Fiction Out On Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Day

Electronic Arts has announced that Hazelight Studio‘s critically acclaimed co-op game Split Fiction will launch alongside Nintendo Switch 2.

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 must rely on each other to break free with their memories intact, working together to master abilities and overcome diverse challenges while jumping between sci-fi and fantasy worlds in this unexpected tale of friendship.

Nintendo Switch 2’s GameShare will let you play locally using a single copy of the game with another player on their console, even if they don’t own the game. Whereas GameChat will le you share live video and voice chat from your console while playing Split Fiction together.

As with the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC versions, you can also use the Friend’s Pass to play online with a friend even if they don’t own the game. With an EA Account the game can also be played cross-platform, meaning that you will be able to play together regardless of which system you own.

The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:

True Co-op Adventure: This split-screen adventure is tailored for two. Experience co-op gameplay where you’ll have to coordinate your actions and timing as well as work together to overcome challenges. Invite a friend to play with you for free on any platform (Crossplay on PS, Xbox, NS2 & PC) with the Friend’s Pass. This wild ride comes to you from Hazelight, the co-op thrill-makers that brought you It Takes Two and A Way Out.
Unparalled Variety: Discover new mechanics and abilities in every level of your adventure, which will alternate between sci-fi and fantasy settings. Escape a sun that’s going supernova, challenge a monkey to a dance battle, try out some cool hoverboard tricks, fight an evil kitty, and ride everything from gravity bikes to a sandshark. Experience worlds that are entirely different from each other, unexpected new abilities, and a range of gameplay that includes platforming, stealth, puzzles, and more. There are surprises waiting for you and your partner in every new level.
The Power of Friendship: Mio and Zoe don’t get along at first, but soon enough they become each other’s only hopes. This journey will throw unexpected twists at them and if they want to make it through, they’ll need to have each other’s backs. They’ll encounter both bizarre situations as they traverse stories born from their own wild imaginations. Most importantly – they’ll face it all together.

Split Fiction will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 5 June 2025.
