It Takes Two lands on Switch 2 next week with visual upgrades and cross-play

Hazelight Studios' co-op hit It Takes Two is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 next week, bringing visual improvements and cross-play support to the platform.

The Switch 2 version will include visual upgrades over the original release, and cross-play will let players team up with friends on other platforms. No additional pricing details or specific upgrade specs were provided in the announcement.

It Takes Two launched in 2021 and went on to win The Game Awards Game of the Year, becoming one of the most acclaimed co-op games in recent memory. Hazelight, led by Josef Fares, built the game around a strict two-player co-op structure with no single-player option — a bold design choice that paid off commercially and critically. The game has since sold millions of copies across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

Switch 2 owners looking for a couch co-op or online co-op experience will have a polished option arriving very soon. The cross-play feature in particular should make it easier to find a partner regardless of platform.
