Split Fiction, the new title from It Takes Two developers Hazelight Studios, is set to drop on March 6. It’s a new chance for co-op gameplay with a friend, exploring the dual worlds of fantasy and sci-fi in a world-hopping adventure.
If you’re excited to give into the Split Fiction world, then there’s good news — here’s everything you need to know about when the game will release in your time zone, and how to pre-load the game ready for the drop.
When is Split Fiction releasing?

I get it, converting time zones can be somewhat of a challenge, and that’s coming from someone who regularly has to contend with a time difference. The image above shows when Split Fiction will be coming out in your time zone.

How to pre-load Split Fiction

The best news about all of this, especially given the 87 GB installation size, is that Split Fiction can be pre-loaded. This will allow you to play as soon as the game goes live around the world, so you can dive straight in and get absorbed by the story.
To do this, all you need to do is purchase the game on your selected platform and then simply install it as you would any other game that’s already released. You won’t be able to play until March 6 at the time listed above for your time zone, but you will have it all set up and ready to go when the time comes.
