The game, available on both Xbox Series X and Xbox One, won Game of the Year at The Game Awards in 2021, surpassing titles like Deathloop, Metroid Dread, Resident Evil Village, Psychonauts 2, and Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart. It’s It Takes Two, developed by Hazelight Studios and published by EA. While EA is a well-known publisher, Hazelight Studios is a Swedish studio founded in 2014 by Josef Fares. They first gained recognition with A Way Out in 2018, followed by the critically acclaimed It Takes Two in 2021. Their latest game, Split Fiction, released in 2025, is also excellent, though it hasn’t reached the same level of popularity as It Takes Two.
