Re: It takes two - How to play co op on PC?

Not sure if origin supports a Nintendo controller.
If you connect a PS4 or Xbox controller via USB that should work for sure. (tested this myself)

  • @Zeelmaekers Hi! Thanks Zeelmaekers, but do I need a controller at all? I read it's possible to play simply two players on one keyboard...

    Just tested this and I think you need a controller for the second player.

  • Thanks for your support @Zeelmaekers!

    Still it's a bit frustrating, not to have known before buying...
    If there's anyone else with input on the topic, how to get going without spending even more on a new controller (that I will probably only use for this game)...I'd be happy to know.
    Stay safe!

    Hi Forum

    Just to let you know, that the problem is solved. 

    Leanings:

    • It takes two can't be played with only one keyboard of the same computer. At least one controller is needed. 
    • Switch pro controllers can in fact be used, they are supported by steam (as well as PS4, 5 and Xbox) - it took for me to find the settings
    • It takes two is a really cool game

    Thanks again @Zeelmaekers for your prompt and practical help, good guy!

    Case closed. 

    Happy Easter to all, don't lose hope!

    Hey Wumpelkumpel,

    hab genau das selbe Problem. mein Pc und Steam erkennen beide switch controller aber das Spiel leider nicht, es erkennt nur einen. Ich hab das Spiel über Origins gekauft aber mit der Steam Bibliothek verbunden. Hast du eventuell nen Tipp wie du dein Problem gelöst hast ?

    hello I have a similar problem: I want to play offline mode with my friends on the same computer with two xbox controllers, but I can't choose player 2, either controller or keyboard can only select player1 with a pattern of the keyboard and mouse.My controllers are effective in steam and other games, so I really don't know what to do, one of my controllers is wired and the other is bluetooth, maybe it could be a problem? It would be a great appreciation if I can get your reply.

  • Hello,

    This is solved but the problem remains because the controller cannot be recognized. I have a controller that it is visible through steam but when I am running "It Takes Two" from EA Play I am not able to use that controller.

    • I have tried with steam app closed or open,
    • I have tried to plug in the controller before and after lunching the game

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    You say "Switch pro controllers can in fact be used".   Is what you meant to say Switch Pro Controllers MUST be used"?  It does not respond to my Bluetooth controller at all although other games do.

    @MrDevilX07 Parsec Did not work for me. Parsec does not detect "It Takes Two" as running, so I cannot select it to host.

    @MrDevilX07, Big Thanks!

    I did not know that I have to buy Joystick before buying the game too.
    And finding your comment was so nice!
    I installed PC Remote and it worked instantly!
    I almost can't believe how easily that happened!

    Thank you once again!
    May God bless you and reveal Himself to you!

    I have two controllers plugged into two different plugs into my laptop. It recognizes player one and the keyboard which is not helpful. I would like it to recognize the second controller as player two. Where in the settings can I add the second controller?
