EA's Split Fiction Achieves Metacritic 91: A Decade-High Score

Hazelight Studios' Split Fiction has achieved a remarkable feat, becoming EA's first game to surpass a 90 Metacritic score in over a decade. This achievement follows overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and players alike.

A 91 Metacritic Score and Universal Acclaim

With an aggregate score of 91 on Metacritic, based on 84 critic reviews, Split Fiction has earned the coveted "Metacritic Must-Play" designation. This widespread critical acclaim marks a significant milestone for EA, whose last title to reach this high a score was Mass Effect 3 in 2012 (a 93 on Metacritic). While subsequent EA titles like Battlefield (2016), It Takes Two (2021), and Dead Space (2023) all received high praise, none quite reached the 90+ mark until now. OpenCritic also reflects this success, awarding Split Fiction a 90 and a "Mighty" rating.
