Developer Hazelight Studios has announced that It Takes Two, "a brilliant co-op adventure with a wild amount of variety" per our review, has now sold over 20 million copies. The milestone comes roughly three-and-a-half years after the game's release, and is a simply astonishing number for an original two-player experience. It certainly vindicates studio lead Josef Fares' bullish promise to give $1000 to anyone who got bored of it.
It Takes Two has sold well since release, but it has clearly retained momentum long past the point where many games stop selling: possibly because it's such a fun shared experience, and exactly the kind of game I can imagine people recommending to their friends (I know I have). Obviously the critical plaudits didn't hurt either, with the game also garlanded at The Game Awards and the BAFTAS, and it has had some big discounts across the various platforms in this period.
