There’s clearly a lot of demand for comedic co-op horror games right now. Lethal Company took the industry by storm when it launched last year, and Totally Accurate Battle Simulator studio Landfall’s Content Warning is now also having its moment in the sun.

It Takes Two took the games industry by storm when it launched back in 2021, enjoying widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike and raking in numerous accolades and awards at the end of the year. Hazelight Studios’ co-op platformer has, thankfully enough, also enjoyed commercial success to reflect its critical acclaim, and is, in fact, continuing to sell at an impressive rate.
Commemorating the three-year anniversary of It Takes Two’s release with a recent tweet, developer Hazelight Studios announced that the game has now sold over 16 million units worldwide. At last count, in February last year, it stood at 10 million units sold, so it’s clearly maintained impressive momentum with its sales.
Hazelight also revealed that It Takes Two has been played by over 30 million players since its release. It’s worth noting that every copy of It Takes Two is sold with a Friend’s Pass, which allows a friend to play the game with you without having to purchase it.
In our review of It Takes Two, we awarded it a score of 8/10, saying, “While its story and characters could have used more work, It Takes Two is a fantastic co-op game that moves masterfully from genre to genre and never overstays its welcome.” Read the full review through here.
It Takes Two is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Take-Two Will Acquire Borderlands Dev Gearbox Entertainment | Push Square
Take-Two has announced plans to acquire Gearbox Entertainment from the embattled Embracer Group, in a deal reported to be worth $460 million. The buyout makes logical sense, as Gearbox Entertainment will operate under the framework of 2K Games, which has long been the publisher of the popular Borderlands series. It’ll be led by founder Randy Pitchford.

A new Borderlands is "in active development" but new owners Take-Two don't have much to say
Alongside announcing plans to buy Borderlands developers Gearbox from the collapsing wreckage of Embracer Group, Borderlands publishers Take-Two overnight casually mentioned that they are "in active development on next installment in Borderlands series". This isn't a formal announcement as much as a businessblast to hype shareholders, so it didn't have anything specific to say about what Gearbox are up to with their wildly popular and deeply unfunny looter shooter series. It had seemed curious that the much-delayed Borderlands movie was coming out five years after the latest main series game and with no new one in sight.
