No, It Takes Two does not support crossplay.
No, It Takes Two does not support crossplay at this time. Players are limited to playing within their own platform's ecosystem. Cross-progression is not supported, so your saves stay tied to the platform you play on.
It Takes Two is available on the following platforms:
| Feature | Supported | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Crossplay | No | Players are limited to their own platform. |
| Cross-Progression | No | Saves and unlocks stay tied to each platform. |
| Split Screen / Couch Co-op | Yes | Two players can share one screen locally. |
No — It Takes Two does not support cross-progression. Saves and unlocks stay tied to the platform where you earned them.
Yes — It Takes Two supports split screen / couch co-op, so players can share one screen on supported platforms.
Yes, It Takes Two supports full local split-screen co-op on all platforms (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch). Two players share one screen using two controllers. To start: launch the game, select 'Play Locally', connect a second controller, and both players choose their characters. No online subscription required for local co-op.
It Takes Two supports 2-player online co-op through the Friend's Pass system. Only one player needs to own the game - they can invite a friend who downloads the free Friend's Pass to play the entire game together. However, crossplay is limited to cross-generation within console families (PS4 with PS5, Xbox One with Series X/S). No crossplay between different platforms.
No, It Takes Two does not have a single-player mode. The entire game is designed around two-player co-op gameplay, with puzzles and mechanics that require both players. There is no AI companion option.
The biggest frustration is the complete lack of crossplay between platforms. Friends on different systems cannot play together. The Friend's Pass only works within platform families. No cross-progression - progress doesn't carry over if you buy on multiple platforms. Some connection issues during online co-op on Wi-Fi - wired Ethernet recommended.
No, It Takes Two requires two players. There is no single-player mode or AI companion. You must have a second person to play, either locally on the same device or online using the Friend's Pass.
No, thanks to the Friend's Pass feature. Only one player needs to purchase It Takes Two. The owner can invite a friend to download the free Friend's Pass version and play the entire game together for free. However, both players must be on the same platform family.
No, It Takes Two does not support cross-progression. Your save data is locked to the platform you're playing on. If you purchase the game on a different platform, you'll have to start over from the beginning.
No, Steam and EA App (Origin) versions cannot play together. They are treated as separate platforms. PC players must own the game on the same storefront to play together.
Hazelight Studios has acknowledged community interest in crossplay but has made no official announcements. Given that the game was released in 2021 and no updates have added crossplay, it seems unlikely to be added retroactively.
Local split-screen co-op is generally better for It Takes Two. It eliminates latency issues, enhances communication between players, and captures the intended couch co-op experience. Online co-op works well but requires stable internet and voice chat coordination.
