Nintendo Switch 2 is bringing a wider gaming lineup. As per the latest announcement, most of the best-selling Nintendo Switch titles are getting an upgraded Switch 2 version, and now Split Fiction has joined the list. Even though, initially, this action-adventure game by Hazelight Studios wasn’t released on the Nintendo console, Electronic Arts has officially confirmed that this 2025 action-adventure game is coming to Switch 2 as a launch title.
According to the official update, the game will cost US$49.99 on the Nintendo Switch 2. Split Fiction is one of the biggest hit EA games that is standing at a 91 score as per the critic reviews on Metacritic.
It is one of the first games in a decade by EA that has crossed the 90+ threshold in critics’ reviews. This game is designed as a two-player cooperative experience that emphasises collaboration and shared storytelling. Notably, this game provides options for players to engage in adventure .
Whether they can use local split-screen or online multiplayer. Aside from that, there’s another feature: the Friend's Pass. It allows a second player to join the game for free, even if they don’t have the game.
With this feature, players can seamlessly use cross-play across multiple platforms. Similar to Hazelight's former Game of the Year winner It Takes Two, Split Fiction requires two players to work together to complete a series of unique and difficult challenges. So, basically, the story of the game follows Mio Hudson and Zoe Foster, who are dragged inside the worlds of their stories, and the objective is to escape a machine that’s stealing their ideas.
The Switch 2 version of the game will take advantage of the next-gen features to create a more enhanced cooperative experience. Hazelight Studio founder Josef Fares and Chief Operating Officer Oskar Wolontis have already confirmed that the Switch 2 version of the game will utilise the GameShare and GameChat features of this next-gen console. EA’s official blog post has confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game will cost US$49.
99. This price tag aligns with the price of the game on PS5, Steam, and Xbox Series X/S versions. Therefore, it’s a relief for the Nintendo Switch gamers that they don’t need to pay more for this critically acclaimed EA title.

Split Fiction’s Nintendo Switch 2 release will make it available to a wider audience, offering an immersive cooperative experience that’s enhanced by the console’s next-gen features. The consistency in the price tag across the platform is the best strategy that EA has taken for the game, and the inclusion of the Friend's Pass to enable two players to share one game will further boost the player count.
As the release date comes forward and pre-orders are going to begin, anticipations are getting higher among the Nintendo Switch fans about this widely recognised EA title..
