It Takes Two: EA Announces Free Upgrade Path for Nintendo Switch 2 Owners
EA and Hazelight Studios’ cooperative adventure It Takes Two will be eligible for a free upgrade for players who own the Nintendo Switch edition and move to Nintendo’s next console, the Nintendo Switch 2, the publisher has said.
It Takes Two, developed by Hazelight Studios and originally released for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on March 26, 2021, later arrived on Nintendo Switch on November 4, 2022.
The title is widely praised for its co-op design and narrative-driven gameplay and helped further establish Hazelight Studios, led by director Josef Fares, following their earlier release A Way Out.
In a statement summarizing the publisher’s guidance, EA told players that owners of the Nintendo Switch version of It Takes Two will be entitled to a free upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 edition.
EA instructed players to sign into their game on the Nintendo Switch 2 console and follow the in-game offer screen to claim the upgrade.
The publisher did not attach technical specifications to the announcement; players should consult EA’s official channels and the Nintendo eShop for any additional rollout details.
Fans responding to EA’s announcement have focused on logistics.
Many asked whether the upgrade will be delivered as a digital copy tied to an account — similar to prior cross-generation transitions — while others raised questions about physical versions.
Paraphrasing common community responses: some players expect a digital entitlement when moving platforms, and some noted they would prefer physical copies to be exchanged or otherwise supported.
It Takes Two remains a standout cooperative release for Hazelight Studios and Electronic Arts, and the free upgrade move follows a broader trend of publishers offering continuity for customers between console generations.
For Switch owners preparing to transition, EA’s guidance is clear: log into your game on Nintendo Switch 2 and accept the in-game offer to receive the upgrade.
For confirmation of availability windows, regional timing, or any potential eShop listings, check EA’s official channels and Nintendo’s eShop updates.
Readers seeking the latest should monitor EA and Hazelight’s social accounts and Nintendo’s news outlets, including Nintendo Direct announcements and the eShop, for any formal rollout schedule or additional instructions.
