Electronic Arts and Hazelight Studios announced that the co-op action-adventure game ‘It Takes Two’ will launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 in mid-October 2026. The release is expected on October 15 or 16, depending on the region.

The Switch 2 version is intended to feature technical improvements such as 1080p resolution in docked mode, 60 frames per second, enhanced lighting, high-resolution textures, and faster loading speeds. The game will support cross-platform play across Nintendo Switch 2, PC, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles. A ‘Friend’s Pass’ will be included to allow players to invite others to the cooperative experience for free.

While players owning the original Nintendo Switch version may be eligible for a free upgrade to the Switch 2 version via the eShop or in-game interface, this option is reportedly unavailable in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, or Taiwan. The game is priced at $39.99.
