Co-op hit Split Fiction now holds three Guinness World Records that seem destined to be won specifically by co-op hit Split Fiction

Hazelight Studios released the co-op game Split Fiction, which has received critical acclaim, including praise from PC Gamer editor Fraser Brown. The game set three Guinness World Records within a week of its release: most played local co-op videogame on Steam, most sold local co-op videogame within 48 hours, and most sold local co-op videogame within one week. It peaked at 197,434 concurrent players on Steam within the first 24 hours. The studio plans to adapt the game for film and employs a "friend's pass" model, allowing one player to share the game with a partner who doesn't own it.

Hello Sunshine is a desert survival sandbox where you live in the literal shadow of the colossus

Red Thread Games, led by Ragnar Tørnquist, is set to release a new game titled Hello Sunshine, which is a survival sandbox set in a post-apocalyptic desert. Players will navigate the landscape with a giant war-bot, requiring them to stay in its shadow during the day to avoid the sun and seek warmth at night when the robot powers down. The game features an evolving relationship between the player and the robot, with challenges from hostile drones and mecha-crabs, as well as opportunities to repair friendly drones. There is potential for cooperative gameplay, possibly allowing a second player to control the robot, creating an asymmetric co-op experience. The game is available for wishlisting on Steam.
