Split Fiction has shattered records, achieving a historic milestone for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam among paid games. Its impressive launch exceeded all expectations, capturing the gaming world's attention.

Released recently on Steam, Split Fiction's success surpasses other EA titles. SteamDB data reveals a peak player count exceeding 197,000 users—the highest ever recorded for a paid EA game on the platform. This significantly outperforms Battlefield V, the previous record holder with a peak of 116,000 players. While EA's free-to-play Apex Legends remains the most popular, with over 620,000 peak players, Split Fiction's achievement is remarkable within the paid game segment.

Beyond its commercial triumph, Split Fiction has earned overwhelmingly positive player reviews on Steam, boasting a 98% approval rating. This underscores not only its financial success but also its widespread appeal among gamers globally.
