Grab a partner and step into Cody and May’s adventure. Combine your changing abilities, solve split-screen puzzles, and invite a friend with Friend’s Pass.
It Takes Two is a cooperative action-adventure platformer developed by Hazelight Studios and published by Electronic Arts. Two players control Cody and May, a couple transformed into dolls and thrown into a fantastical world.
Each new level introduces connected abilities and a different set of challenges. Play together locally or online, combine both characters’ strengths, and follow a story about rebuilding a fractured relationship.
Start by choosing how you'll play together and who takes each character. Keep talking as new abilities arrive: getting past an obstacle depends on what both players can do.
