Some of my most cherished childhood memories involve playing cooperative games with friends during summer vacations. Now as an adult, summers don't carry the same magic - whether it's the pressures of daily life or the scarcity of quality couch co-op titles. But occasionally, a truly special game comes along that rekindles those feelings of pure joy.
Split Fiction, the newest release from It Takes Two developer Hazelight Studios, launched earlier this year and delivers another phenomenal co-op experience designed specifically for two players. Despite its recent debut, the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are already discounted to just $35 during Prime Day. Act fast though - the sale ends tonight at midnight PT.

Original price: $49.99
30% off: $35.00 at Amazon
Following in the footsteps of It Takes Two, which won Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2021, Split Fiction is proving to be another instant classic in the co-op genre.
Like its predecessor, Split Fiction offers a split-screen experience playable either locally or online. The game includes a Friend Pass system, meaning you only need one copy to play together with a friend.
The adventure features memorable moments that require careful coordination between partners as you navigate alternating sci-fi and fantasy worlds. Our review scored it a 9/10, praising how "Split Fiction consistently evolves its gameplay to maintain excitement." It's already earned a spot on our Best Games of 2025 list.
While both games share similar DNA, Split Fiction features an entirely new story and characters - no prior experience needed. That said, series veterans will appreciate clever nods and inside jokes referencing the previous title.
