The It Takes Two review embargo lifted yesterday and the game performed astonishingly well.

The game received a score of 90 on PS5, 89 on the Xbox Series X and 88 on PC. This makes it the highest-rated title of 2021 so far, beating out heavy competition from the likes of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and Hitman 3.

Critics so far have praised the creative nature of the game and the fantastic co-op elements.

These reviews have really raised the hype levels for It Takes Two and have made players wonder about the game's release date, time and price. Here's what you need to know.

It Takes Two Price

It Takes Two is universally £34.99/$39.99 across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X (EA Play subscribers will get a £4/$4 discount on Xbox). While this price alone seems fair for such a well-received game, it's made even sweeter by the fact that players will be able to take advantage of the "Friends Pass".

This pass allows one player to purchase the game, but two players to play online using a special code. Meaning essentially, so long as you plan to play online, it's two copies for the price of one.

Unfortunately, however, despite seeming a perfect fit, It Takes Two won't be releasing on the Nintendo Switch. At least not yet.

It Takes Two Release Date

Luckily, after the stellar reviews, players won't have to wait too long to get their hands on a copy of the game. It Takes Two is releasing tomorrow, March 26, across all platforms.

Release Time
