It Takes Two is witnessing a steady growth in its gamer base. The co-op game has surpassed games such as Deathloop, Resident Evil Village, and Metroid Dread. The game is available across several platforms including PC and can be bought via either the Steam launcher or the Origin launcher.

For players who are new to Steam or co-op games through the platform, setting up and playing It Takes Two can be complicated. In this article, we will tell how to play the game on Steam.

Create Origin Account & Steam Account

Though the game can be bought with Steam, it is published by EA. This means that the game will start via EA’s own launcher known as Origin. As such, both players will require Steam and Origin accounts. Making both accounts is a very simple process.

Keep Spare Space For The Game

It Takes Two is a pretty large game. Players should be confused by the cute-looking graphics and the simple nature of the title. This game offers a lot of content with cutscenes and will need a good amount of space on the system. It will need around 50GB of space for the game to install.

Download and Get The Friend Pass

Once the game is purchased by players, they should download the game as normal. It might take some time as it is a large file. In the meantime, the second player should download the friend pass copy of the game through the Origin store. The friend pass cannot be downloaded via Steam. So, the second player should open Origin and browse for the game.

Get Into A Lobby

Once the game has been downloaded by both players, the person who purchased the game will be required to create a multiplayer lobby. The player sporting the friend pass cannot make the lobby, they can only connect to the lobby via an invite through Origin. The lobby can be created by selecting the “Play Online” opting in the main menu.

Choose Characters and Get ready To Play

The two players will have to choose one character from the in-game couple. One player will play the wife May, while the other will take control of Cody. Once players have their characters chosen, they will be ready to play the game.
