2021 Game of the Year Could Be Coming to Nintendo Switch 2
An unconfirmed report suggests that It Takes Two, the acclaimed 2021 co-op game, may be heading to the Nintendo Switch 2. The claim stems from a document reportedly circulated by Hong Kong video distributor Prowell Asia and shared with outlet Nintendo Everything, indicating a possible port with visual and performance upgrades. If accurate, it would extend the reach of a title that has already proven hugely popular with players.
It Takes Two won Game of the Year at The Game Awards in 2021, having launched that March on PC, PlayStation and Xbox before arriving on the original Switch in 2022; it has sold more than 20 million copies across platforms. The leaked document reportedly points to an October 15th release on Switch 2, distributed as a physical game card requiring 12.1GB of storage, with support for nine languages including English, Japanese and French. Pricing has not been disclosed, and it remains unclear whether existing Switch owners would get a free upgrade or need to pay extra, with past Switch 2 upgrade costs ranging from roughly $2.49 to $19.99.

Explained simply
It Takes Two is a co-operative adventure game made by Hazelight Studios and published by Electronic Arts. Designed for two people to play together, it follows a couple who have been turned into small dolls and must work through challenges as they try to return to normal.
The game launched in 2021 for PC, PlayStation and Xbox, then came to the original Nintendo Switch in 2022. It won Game of the Year at The Game Awards in 2021 and has sold more than 20 million copies across platforms, making it one of the best-known recent co-operative games.
Nintendo Switch 2 is Nintendo’s successor to the original Switch, and some games released for the older console can also be played on the newer one. A version made specifically for Switch 2 could reach its players with changes suited to the newer hardware; whether owners of the original Switch version would need to pay for an upgrade is a separate question.
