Steam's Top-Selling Paid Game: Split Fiction Breaks Record

Split Fiction has shattered records, setting a new high-water mark for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam among paid games. Its launch exceeded all expectations, capturing the gaming world's attention.

Released recently on Steam, Split Fiction's success is particularly noteworthy compared to other EA titles. SteamDB data reveals a peak concurrent player count surpassing 197,000 users—the highest ever recorded for a paid EA game on the platform.

This achievement dwarfs previous EA records. Battlefield V, the closest competitor, peaked at 116,000 players. While EA's most popular title, the free-to-play Apex Legends, boasts over 620,000 concurrent players, Split Fiction's accomplishment is significant within the context of paid games.

Beyond its impressive player numbers, Split Fiction has earned widespread critical acclaim. Steam reviews overwhelmingly praise the game, boasting a remarkable 98% positive rating. This underscores not only its commercial triumph but also its broad appeal to gamers globally.
