Has the China release of *Split Fiction* opened for pre-orders, and is it worth 148.5 yuan?

The price is genuinely competitive.

The domestic China version of Split Fiction has already opened for pre-order on Migu Fast Play. The timeline is very clear: from now until April 2, with the official launch on April 3. The original price is 198 yuan, and the platform is directly subsidizing 49.5 yuan, bringing the pre-order price down to 148.5 yuan, or 25% off. That’s a very solid cut.

If you previously participated in the “Split Fiction New Year Blessings Giveaway” event and still have the “1 yuan off 10 yuan” coupon, you can stack it this time as well. That brings the final price down to as low as 138.5 yuan. For a game centered on two-player co-op, that’s already firmly in the “worth buying” range.

And the key point isn’t just the sticker price.

The game supports one person buying it and then directly inviting a friend to play through the entire campaign together. In plain terms, it means one purchase gets two people in. Split between two players, you barely even need to think about going halves. Co-op games are at their worst when the startup friction is too high—you finally want to get a friend into it, and they still have to buy in first. This game handles that barrier quite smartly.

During the pre-order period, all users can also try the prologue for free. I’m fully on board with that. When it comes to feel, no trailer can really tell the story—you have to get your hands on it yourself. Whether the two of you click, whether the stages flow well, one trial run will tell you.

Now let’s talk about how it looks as a product.

Split Fiction is a two-player co-op adventure game made by the developer of It Takes Two. That name alone carries serious weight. External reviews are strong too: IGN gave it a 9, Metacritic has a media average of 91, and OpenCritic has a media average of 90. During the Steam EA phase, peak concurrent players even broke 250,000. Numbers like that don’t come from marketing slogans—they come from players actually showing up.

In addition, Migu Fast Play has also launched a “partner team-up” event alongside it. Players who buy the game can act as team captains and generate invite codes to recruit others. Teams start at 2 people and can have up to 4. Each team can receive invitation rewards up to 3 times. After the game launches, as long as just 1 person in the team owns the game, the whole team can complete tasks together to earn points. If multiple people in the team buy it, the points can stack. The prizes include things like the Huawei Mate80 and Logitech keyboard-and-mouse sets, which gives team players some extra combo rewards, so to speak.

One last point.

The core appeal of this domestic pre-order isn’t just that it’s cheap, but that the lower price comes with a full package: you can try it first, enjoy it with two players, and even team up for rewards along the way. For players who already have a regular partner, 148.5 yuan is an easy buy; if you’re also holding a “1 yuan off 10 yuan” coupon, then 138.5 yuan is even less of a hesitation. On the other hand, if you rarely play co-op games and hardly ever squad up with friends, its value drops by quite a bit.

My recommendation is simple.

If you’ve got a partner, try the prologue and pre-order while you’re at it.
If you don’t, don’t rush—first make sure your teammate actually shows up consistently.

If you want to buy it, just search for Split Fiction in the Migu Fast Play app or on the PC platform to go straight to the pre-order page. This window really does feel like a valid opening.
