Hazelight Studios Celebrates 50 Million Sales Milestone, Teases New Co-op Game in Development
April 8, 2026
Hazelight Studios, led by Josef Fares, reports that its three games have sold a combined 50 million copies: A Way Out (about 13 million), It Takes Two (about 30 million), and Split/Fiction (about 7 million).
It Takes Two, released in 2021, is the studio’s top-seller with roughly 30 million copies sold, helping drive the milestone.
Split/Fiction, released in 2023, has sold about 7 million copies, while A Way Out from 2018 has sold around 13 million, highlighting the shift in popularity toward It Takes Two.
Hazelight signals ongoing activity by confirming a fourth game is in development, with a co-op-centric focus and few details shared.
Fares has teased a fourth title with hints of continued progress and behind-the-scenes glimpses from earlier this year.
The milestone was announced via Hazelight’s X account, with appreciation for fan support.
EA’s financial support is noted as a factor enabling Hazelight’s innovative co-op titles, even as gamers criticize the publisher at times.
All three games support Friend’s Pass, allowing friends to play without each owning a copy, potentially doubling the audience.
Hazelight shared the 50-million milestone through social media, including a short video and a tweet on April 8, 2026.
Fares and Hazelight have been developing a new game for about a year, which they claim will surpass Split/Fiction, It Takes Two, and A Way Out.
The company emphasizes a focus on local co-operative play and consumer-friendly practices, contrasting with trends like NFTs and microtransactions.
The 50-million milestone underscores the popularity of Hazelight’s cooperative, shared-experience games and accessible multiplayer.
