Report Points to It Takes Two Heading to Nintendo Switch 2 with Physical Release Planned
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A leaked distributor document suggests that 2021 Game of the Year winner It Takes Two is launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 this October, complete with a physical game card release and potential performance upgrades.
A leaked distribution document suggests that Hazelight Studios' acclaimed co-op adventure It Takes Two might soon find a new home on Nintendo's successor console. According to a report by Polygon originally covered by Nintendo Everything, a filing from Hong Kong video distributor Prowell Asia points to an October 15 release for the game on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo has not yet officially confirmed the details, the document indicates that the title will launch as a physical game card requiring 12.1 GB of storage, reaffirming the continued importance of physical media in the current hardware landscape.
For a game that swept the major awards at The Game Awards in 2021 and surpassed 20 million copies sold across PC, consoles, and the original Switch, this move opens the door for substantial technical upgrades. Players diving back into the emotional, chaotic journey of Cody and May can likely expect higher resolutions, smoother frame rates, and visual performance that overcomes the limitations of the first-generation hybrid hardware. It also keeps the brilliant co-op platformer relevant for cross-platform gaming groups and streaming creators who frequently revisit the title for collaborative playthroughs.
The prospect of a Switch 2 version also raises questions regarding upgrade paths for existing owners, particularly given Nintendo's hardware trajectory and the handling of cross-generation libraries. As we wait for an official announcement from Hazelight or Nintendo, the leak highlights how much anticipation surrounds the backward compatibility and enhanced performance features of the upcoming platform.
