It Takes Two news & patch notes

It feels like two minutes since Josef Fares revealed Split Fiction live on stage to the world back in December 2024 at The Game Awards, and here we are, just under 2 months away from the game launching on March 6th. Today we are excited to share our “Road to Launch” road map to give you an idea of what we have planned for you before you get your hands on the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45343552/6e0824dfa4c40a7df268436532f8e25faeaee7a9.png We hope you will enjoy everything we have planned for you above, and we’ll have PC specific news coming as well before launch. Come March 6, we can’t wait to see the incredible things our community can do with the game - sharing your gameplay clips, cosplay attempts and amazing fan art!

Watch Split Fiction's action-packed reveal trailer! Get ready to master a variety of abilities, and overcome diverse challenges while jumping between sci-fi and fantasy worlds in this unexpected story of friendship. Mio and Zoe are contrasting writers – one writes sci-fi and the other writes fantasy – who become trapped in their own stories after being hooked up to a machine designed to steal their creative ideas. They’ll have to rely on each other to break free with their memories in-tact. Split Fiction is a unique action-adventure experience that keeps you on the edge of your couch with unexpected moments. One minute you’re taming adorable dragons and the next you’re fighting as cyber ninjas, escaping terrifying trolls, or dodging hover cars thrown by a robotic parking attendant. It’s weird, it’s wild, and it’s designed to be shared. Grab a friend and get ready to overcome any obstacle thrown your way. You can play couch co-op, or invite a friend to play online for free using Friend's Pass*. As long as one of you owns the game you can both play! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2001120/Split_Fiction/ -- Looking for a space dedicated to all things to do with Hazelight Games?

FAQ

Do I need to add my Steam friend to the EA friends list to invite them to play?

The EA friends list is no longer required to play with someone that has It Takes Two through Steam. You can now send game invites directly through Steam to anyone on your Steam friends list!

The EA App is still starting when I play the Friend's Pass

The old EA App Friend's Pass version of the game has been replaced with a new one. To play the Friend's Pass without the EA App, please install the new version of the Friend's Pass. If you do not wish to reinstall the game, the old Friend's Pass will continue to work through the EA App. However, because it is running through EA App, you will need to use the in-game EA Friends List to send EA invites. Sending or accepting invites through the Steam Friends List requires the new version of the Friend's Pass.

Can I still play with a friend that has the game through the EA App?

Yes! When inviting a friend to play, choose the "EA Friends List" option in-game. From there, you can add their EA Account to your EA friends list, and send a game invite to them through EA. Invites sent through EA are only visible while It Takes Two is running.

What happened to EA App Cloud Saves?

It Takes Two now uses the Steam Cloud for save games. Save games you have on your computer will automatically be uploaded to the Steam Cloud when you start the game. Due to technical limitations, save games previously stored in the EA App Cloud are no longer accessible. For any players that have lost progress because of this, please download this completed save game and copy it to your save data folder in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\ItTakesTwo After starting It Takes Two with this completed save, the Chapter Select menu can be used to continue playing from any point in the game. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Do I still need an EA Account?

As before, in order to connect to EA servers for online play an EA Account must be linked to your Steam account. Selecting 'Play Online' from the main menu will prompt you to link an EA Account if one is not already linked. An EA account is no longer required for local play or when using Steam Remote Play Together. EDIT: When this announcement was posted it included a mention of steam family sharing support. Unfortunately, due to a technical limitation in Steam's Family Sharing feature it cannot currently be used by games that have a Friend's Pass version like It Takes Two. The patch notes text was corrected shortly after the announcement was posted.

It Takes Two is celebrating a huge milestone: 16 million units! Thank you to all of our fans – your support means everything to us. - Hazelight Studios {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322709/e5c778c5b8ea3d4bb65fc872ef8376e9d811d315.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322709/3edaa9ce7a6b405d98f583bffada0ff11fb6d08f.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39322709/f5cd8a03c7f41f8a6d9ee705eb785bbd1d8d26b1.jpg
