Split Fiction has etched its name in the annals of gaming history by setting a new record for Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam among paid games. The developers have masterfully captured the gaming community's attention with a launch that surpassed all expectations.

Upon its recent release on PC via Steam, Split Fiction has achieved extraordinary success, outshining other EA titles. Data from SteamDB reveals that the game hit a peak player count of over 197,000 users, marking the highest peak player count ever for a paid EA game on the platform.

To put this into perspective, the nearest competitor within EA's portfolio is Battlefield V, which previously held the record with a peak of 116,000 players. On the other hand, the most popular game in EA's catalog remains the free-to-play Apex Legends, with a peak player count exceeding 620,000.

Beyond its record-breaking performance, Split Fiction has received widespread acclaim from players. Reviews on Steam are "overwhelmingly positive," with an impressive approval rating of 98%. This not only underscores the game's commercial triumph but also its broad appeal to gamers around the globe.
