Get It Takes Two for Windows through the official EA product page, which offers an EA app purchase route and links to Steam. Check the PC requirements below before installing. If you plan to play co-op, one player can own the full game while the other joins with Friend’s Pass; that feature does not allow PC players to play with people on other platforms.

Choose an official Windows download route

EA’s purchase page for It Takes Two links to the EA app Windows purchase and the Steam listing. These are digital game licenses, not a boxed Windows download. Availability and price can differ by region and change over time, so check the live store page for your location.

Route What it provides Account and launcher details
EA app EA’s Windows purchase route for the full game. Use the EA app and an EA account. EA provides the app through its EA app download page.
Steam Steam store listing linked from EA’s product page. EA said in its May 29, 2024 update that the Steam version no longer needs the EA app launcher. Online play still requires an EA account linked to Steam.
Friend’s Pass A free companion download for a friend joining someone who owns the full game; if neither player owns it, the first chapter can be tried in co-op. Download the pass for the relevant platform. Online play requires the relevant platform accounts; Steam players also need an EA account for online play.

Check the published Windows requirements

EA’s product page lists the following PC specifications. They are EA’s published requirements for a game released March 26, 2021, not an independent compatibility test or a current guarantee. In particular, the page names Windows 8.1 and Windows 10; it does not establish compatibility with every later Windows version.

Specification Minimum Recommended
Operating system 64-bit Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 64-bit Windows 8.1 or Windows 10
Processor AMD FX 6100 or Intel Core i3-2100T equivalent AMD Ryzen 3 1300X or Intel Core i5-3570K equivalent
Memory 8 GB RAM 16 GB RAM
Graphics AMD R7 260X or NVIDIA GTX 660 equivalent; DirectX 11-compatible graphics AMD R9 290X or NVIDIA GTX 980 equivalent; DirectX 11-compatible graphics
Online connection 256 Kbps or faster 256 Kbps or faster
Storage 50 GB 50 GB

These figures come from EA’s product and system-requirements page. Check the live listing and your system’s available storage before downloading.

Play co-op with Friend’s Pass

EA’s Friend’s Pass guidance says a friend can play even without owning the full game. One player must own It Takes Two to host the full adventure. If neither player owns it, EA says the first chapter can be tried in local or online co-op.

  1. Have the full-game owner install the game on their platform.
  2. Have the other player download Friend’s Pass for that same platform family.
  3. Invite the friend through the game or platform’s supported invite flow, then play together.

Friend’s Pass supports cross-generation play, not cross-platform play. EA’s example is a PlayStation 5 player inviting someone on PlayStation 4; the feature does not let a player on PC invite someone on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or PlayStation.

Steam-specific setup for online play

In its May 29, 2024 update, “Steam Friends and Deck Verified,” EA said the Steam version no longer needs the EA app launcher. The update also says an EA account remains required to connect to EA servers for online play, and that it must be linked to Steam.

For Steam invites without the EA app, install the new Steam version of Friend’s Pass rather than the older EA app version. The distinction matters: not needing the EA app launcher does not remove the EA account requirement for online play.
