It Takes Two, the award-winning co-op game by Hazelight Studios, just recently sold 10 million copies worldwide. This achievement comes just under two years after the game was initially released on March 26, 2021.
Hazelight Studios’ official Twitter account broke the news a few hours ago:
Our minds are officially blown.#ItTakesTwo has sold over 10 (TEN!) MILLION 😳💥

It Takes Two is arguably one of the most successful co-op-focused games in recent years. It’s won multiple awards, including the coveted “Game of the Year” award at The Game Awards 2021. It also won awards the following year in 2022 at the 25th Annual Design Innovate Communicate Entertain (D.I.C.E.) Awards and 18th British Academy Awards.

It’s worth noting that because It Takes Two is a co-op game, potentially even more than 10 million people have actually tried the game out. Interestingly enough, this isn’t the first game that celebrated a sales milestone in February. Hit PS5 title God of War Ragnarok also achieved a similar milestone, with 11 million total copies sold in under three months.
If you’re thinking about trying It Takes Two for yourself, consider giving our review of the game a read. Here’s our verdict: “And at the end of the day, that is what stands out in It Takes Two. It’s fun. The game is effortlessly fun. While the marriage of gameplay and story wasn’t what I had hoped – I wasn’t ever really invested in May and Cody’s relationship – I was constantly having fun playing it. And for me, that is what matters most. Highly recommended.”
