The game’s local co-op support is documented; the exact shared-keyboard controls are not. Check the current PC control settings or an authoritative support answer before buying a controller specifically for this setup.
Can two people play It Takes Two on one PC?
Yes. EA describes It Takes Two as supporting couch co-op, and Steam lists Shared/Split Screen Co-op. That confirms local play on one computer, with both players sharing the same screen.
That does not establish how the game assigns inputs. The official EA and Steam pages reviewed do not say whether two players can use one keyboard, give keyboard mappings for both players, or state that a second player must use a separate device. So the documented answer to the shared-keyboard question is unknown: do not assume either that one keyboard is enough or that a controller is mandatory.
What are the alternatives if one keyboard does not work?
Local couch co-op and online play are different setups. The options documented by EA and Steam are:
#1 Best Overall
- With broad game support, the Logitech Gamepad F310 works with old standbys to today's biggest titles, so it's easy to set up and use with your favorite games.
- Profiler software allows the gamepad to be programmed to perform keyboard and mouse commands for games without gamepad support.* * Requires software installation.
- A familiar control layout that doesn't require a learning curve to be able to use, with all the same buttons as on an Xbox 360.
- The unique floating D-pad rests on four switches-instead of a single pivot point-making it responsive to quick changes in direction.
- The six-foot cord lets you lean back and play a comfortable distance from your PC monitor.
| Option | Where players are | Internet and ownership details |
|---|---|---|
| Local couch co-op | Both players use one PC. | EA says couch co-op does not require an internet connection. The official pages reviewed do not specify the required input devices. |
| Steam Remote Play Together | Players connect remotely through Steam; the second player uses another device. | Steam lists Remote Play Together. The listing does not specify the shared-keyboard mappings or all setup requirements. |
| EA Friend’s Pass | Players connect online on supported platforms. | EA says a friend can download Friend’s Pass. If neither player owns the game, they can play the first chapter; one player must own the full game to continue. Check EA’s current platform terms before relying on a particular online arrangement. |
EA’s Friend’s Pass information distinguishes online play from offline couch co-op. For current eligibility and platform restrictions, consult EA’s Friend’s Pass and system requirements help page.
How to check before you buy a controller
- Launch the current PC version and open its control or input settings. Check whether the game exposes separate assignments for both local players.
- If the controls do not make shared-keyboard support clear, consult current EA or platform support documentation for the PC build. The official product pages do not answer this specific mapping question.
- Only choose another input device after confirming the game’s current requirements for your setup; the available official listings do not establish that a controller is required.
Does your PC meet EA’s listed minimum requirements?
These specifications are separate from the keyboard question. EA’s current support page lists the following minimum PC requirements: 64-bit Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, 8 GB memory, a GTX 660- or Radeon R7 260X-class graphics card, DirectX 11, and 50 GB of storage. EA also lists an internet connection of at least 256 Kbps. Treat these as EA’s published requirements, not a guarantee of performance on every system; couch co-op itself can be played offline according to EA.
