Critics have praised "Split Fiction" for its constant introduction of new gameplay elements, which ensures that players remain engaged from start to finish. Gameractor UK hailed it as "Hazelight Studios' best work to date and one of the most impressive co-op games of this generation," highlighting the game's creativity and innovation. Eurogamer echoed this sentiment, calling it "a fantastic adventure" and a testament to human imagination.

IGN USA noted the game's significant visual improvements over "It Takes Two" and praised its ability to keep gameplay engaging, though they pointed out that the storyline could be stronger. VGC mentioned that while the game risks becoming repetitive due to the constant switching between two main locations, its rich side stories and ever-changing mechanics keep the experience fresh.

However, not all reviews were without criticism. Hardcore Gamer felt that "Split Fiction" is shorter and more expensive than "It Takes Two," and while it delivers a fun experience, it falls short of the expectations set by its predecessor in terms of originality and variety.

"Split Fiction" is set to release on March 6, 2025, and will be available on current-gen consoles (PS5, Xbox Series) and PC. This highly anticipated title promises to be a must-play for fans of co-op gaming and a showcase of Hazelight Studios' continued innovation in the genre.
