It’s great to see It Takes Two finally verified for Steam Deck, and it’s a relief that the EA App launcher is no longer required to play. The game now utilizes the Steam friends list for invites and joining up with other players, as well as Steam Cloud for saves. This makes the overall experience much smoother for players. However, the removal of the EA App launcher means that EA App Cloud Saves are no longer accessible. While this may not affect many players, it’s still an inconvenience for those who relied on it. The workaround provided by EA, which involves downloading a completed save game and copying it into the game directory, is a decent solution to the problem. It’s not uncommon for players to encounter issues with saves, and having a workaround like this available is helpful. Plus, it’s good to know that even without the EA App launcher, players can still choose to play with others through the EA App if they prefer. Overall, these changes make It Takes Two on Steam a more convenient and accessible experience for players. The game’s popularity and positive reception make it a must-play for anyone interested in co-op adventures.
