Split Fiction on Xbox Series X is a story-led game that sits in the modern narrative/adventure space, competing with other cinematic, choice-driven titles where atmosphere and pacing matter as much as mechanics. If you like games that prioritise plot, character moments and a steady drip of twists over endless grind, this is the sort of release that tends to land well on Series X — with quick loading and smooth performance helping keep the momentum going.

Who will enjoy Split Fiction?

It’s best suited to players who prefer a focused campaign you can make real progress in across a few sessions, rather than an open-ended live-service loop. Expect the appeal to come from how the story unfolds and how you engage with it, rather than raw competitive depth. If you’re after something to play between bigger, time-hungry games, this kind of narrative experience can be a strong palate cleanser.

• Platform: Xbox Series X (check compatibility if you’re on Series S)
