How co-op works
Co-op-only campaign for exactly two players, locally or online in split screen. Cody and May receive different but connected abilities in every level, so platforming, combat, and puzzles require both partners to combine their mechanics and coordinate.
About this game
It Takes Two is a strictly co-op action-adventure that demands two players working in tandem as Cody and May, a couple on the brink of divorce who are magically transformed into dolls. Every level introduces fresh mechanics and genre-bending twists, from piloting planes to navigating time-manipulating puzzles, ensuring no two chapters feel alike.

Gameplay revolves around asymmetric cooperation where each player wields unique abilities that complement their partner's. Communication is essential as you platform, battle, and puzzle-solve through imaginative set-pieces that constantly shift the rules. The variety keeps sessions unpredictable and the teamwork rewarding.
You can play online or in split-screen couch co-op, and the Friend's Pass lets one owner invite a partner for free. Sessions are structured into distinct chapters that build narrative momentum while testing coordination, making it ideal for duos who enjoy story-driven campaigns and collaborative problem-solving under pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play It Takes Two solo or do I absolutely need a second player?
You absolutely need a second player. It Takes Two is strictly co-op with no single-player mode-the entire game is designed around two people controlling Cody and May simultaneously, each with different abilities that require coordination.
Does my friend need to own the game to play with me?
No. The Friend's Pass lets you invite one friend to play the entire game for free online, even if they don't own it. Only one person needs to purchase It Takes Two.
Can we play couch co-op or is it online only?
You can play both ways. It Takes Two supports local split-screen couch co-op on the same system and online co-op. Steam Remote Play Together is also supported if you want another way to play remotely.
How important is communication between players?
Communication is essential. Each player has unique abilities that complement their partner's, and you'll constantly need to coordinate movements, solve asymmetric puzzles, and react together to shifting gameplay mechanics. Expect communication-heavy teamwork throughout.
Does the gameplay stay fresh or does it get repetitive?
The gameplay stays remarkably varied. Every chapter introduces completely new mechanics and genre shifts-from piloting vehicles to time-manipulation puzzles-so no two levels feel the same. The constant reinvention is one of the game's signature strengths.
