It Takes Two Native Switch 2 Port: Oct 15, 2026 Leak

A long-awaited co-op comeback for Hazelight’s hit may be closer than expected: an internal distribution document reportedly points to a native Nintendo Switch 2 port of It Takes Two arriving on October 15, 2026.

Key takeaways

A leaked internal document suggests It Takes Two is planned as a native port for Nintendo Switch 2 on October 15, 2026.
The new version is rumored to forgo a traditional game cartridge in favor of a “game-key card” that requires a 12.1 GB download.
On Switch 2, the port is expected to target dynamic up to 4K output with a stable 60 frames per second.
Neither Electronic Arts nor Hazelight has officially confirmed the details yet.

Why It Takes Two is still a co-op benchmark

It Takes Two launched in spring 2021 and quickly became a standout co-op adventure built for two players. The story follows Cody and May, a couple on the verge of divorce who are transformed into fabric dolls, turning their breakup into a shared journey that must be solved together. The game’s design is shaped around constant reinvention: each chapter introduces a fresh gameplay mechanic that both players must coordinate, ranging from tools-and-toolset puzzles to time manipulation and magnetic interactions.

At the Game Awards 2021, it won Game of the Year, and it went on to exceed 30 million copies sold. One reason it resonated with players is how consistently it can generate genuine teamwork on controller, supported by the Amiibo/partner-style “Friend Pass” feature that lets players invite a partner at no extra cost.

After its initial release, the game arrived on Nintendo Switch in 2022. Now, a new push suggests it could be returning again—this time on Switch 2.

Leak details: date, format, and storage size

The new information centers on a distribution leak traced to an internal document from Prowell Asia Holdings, an Asian games distributor. The document—first spotted online—explicitly references a Switch 2 version of the co-op title.

If accurate, the release date is set for October 15, 2026. The same document claims this edition uses a “game-key card” physical format rather than a standard cartridge, with the card tied to an installation/download requirement of 12.1 GB on the console’s storage.

Performance expectations on Switch 2

Technical expectations for the port are largely tied to Switch 2’s newer hardware. The Switch release required significant optimization, but the rumored Switch 2 upgrade implies a clearer image and better consistency: dynamic output up to 4K and a frame rate capped and stabilized at 60 fps.

As of now, the port and its specifications have not been confirmed by either Electronic Arts or Hazelight. With the leak pointing to an October 2026 window, it also suggests the announcement could arrive around a future Nintendo event—potentially giving players another chance to experience the co-op game in its best-looking form.
