It Takes Two hits record on Steam – But half of gamers don’t need to spend money

​

Need two people to play It Takes Two. This game is so focused on co-op mode that people need teammates to be able to experience it to the fullest. It Takes Two was rated as the best game of 2021 when it was first released and is becoming more “hot” in the past few days. It Takes Two entered the best-selling game chart on Steam this week and has more than 36,000 players online at a time, half of which are free-to-play.

Like the developer’s previous co-op game HazelightA Way Out, It Takes Two offers free friend tickets, meaning game owners can invite anyone to join them without paying for the game.

Follow SteamDB, It Takes Two reached a peak concurrent player count of 21,567 on April 5. It Takes Two Friend’s Pass reached 15,872 online concurrent players. These two numbers put It Takes Two on Steam’s list of 30 most played games today.

Hazelight director Josef Fares said: “I’m really surprised not to see the emergence of games focused solely on co-op, and I would love to see more games like this. Co-op games underrated from a creative perspective, despite the fact that the series allows you to create amazing stories and exciting gameplay experiences.”
