200k?! Happy for Hazelight.

 

[Gaiff]

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

and thinking that sub 100k is considered as a success for a stablished IP cof cof (The Vailguard).

 

[viveks86]

Awesome! This completely throws my concern out the window that this game was launching with no fanfare. It's just not that popular on GAF it seems.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Damn Josef is on a streak, what a gem of a guy.

 

[SlimySnake]

wow i thought it was going to flop due to two female characters.

 

[Gee]

Can’t wait to play this with the kids!

 

[xenosys]

Looking at the CCU graph, the Asian market is going to carry this hard.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Word of mouth, people know It Takes Two and when they hear this "is from the makers of It Takes Two" that's an autosale. Especially for a lot of gamer husbands or parents who want to share their hobby.

 

[dean518]

Yes next assassin's creed for the tears

 

[Shubh_C63]

That is insanely high, yes even for Split Fiction. Wow I am a fan of this crazy guy now.

 

[Denton]

It Takes Two sold over 20 million and has 200K reviews on Steam. Hazelight built a huge audience for their co-op games. It helps that they are best in the biz at this specific type of game.

 

[viveks86]

Was curious to see if It Takes Two still does good numbers. Dammmmnnn

 

[nikos]

Well deserved. Game is incredibly good.

 

[Forsete]

Another masterpiece from Hazelight.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Is it free?

 

[YCoCg]

Is it free?

Yes*







*If you know someone with the game and they choose to share it with you for a session

 

[MMaRsu]

Game is really good so far! Been playing with a buddy

 

[Holammer]

Probably a good game, but I'm surprised Fares gets away with doing the same co-op game with new skin over and over again. People lap it up.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

They take advantage of the situation that there are almost no coop multiplayer games.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Is it free?

Nothing in life is free.

 

[YCoCg]

Probably a good game, but I'm surprised Fares gets away with doing the same co-op game with new skin over and over again. People lap it up.

The only thing they all have in common is that they're co-op only focused, that's like saying Medal Of Honour, Call of Duty, DOOM and Bioshock are the same games just in a different skin.

 

[RCX]

Playing it with my 12 year old daughter

Absolutely dig it. It's a fucking game-ass game.

So many modern AAAs forget a simple rule: its supposed to be fun

 

[Heisenberg007]

Hott damn! That's a fantastic number.

Much better than I expected. Good for Hazelight!

 

[KungFucius]

It Takes Two sold over 20 million and has 200K reviews on Steam. Hazelight built a huge audience for their co-op games. It helps that they are best in the biz at this specific type of game.

They are the only one making this type of game. Sure there are other co-op games, but they are not mandatory co-op and hence designed to be experienced together.

And I didn't buy it on Steam. EA gives 10% off wtih GamePass.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

It reached a new CCU peak today at 14:00 UTC, which is prime time in East Asia.

 

[Syphon Filter]

looks bad.

 

[nial]

looks good.

 

[Sanepar]

I think all games from this guy are boring :/ maybe not for me.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

A note to Western developers-Asians will buy Western games like Split Fiction that focus mainly on gameplay compared to cinematics

 

[kazuyamishima]

China is carrying this game heavily on Steam…… and possibly on PS5 too.

 

[Ozriel]

Have you tried making friends first?

 

[mckmas8808]

wow i thought it was going to flop due to two female characters.

Goes to show......

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Seems like their games have a very dedicated audience/fanbase.

Cool to see for something somewhat niche. Glad it is seeing success.

 

[dreamstation]

Have been playing with my girls and having an absolute blast. Loving it as much as It Takes Two so far.

 

[Loomy]

wow i thought it was going to flop due to two female characters.

Reality is, outside of internet forums, most gaming audience simply do not care about that stuff. Plus, most people who finished It Takes Two enjoyed it and have been looking forward to what's next from these guys for a while now.

This might be the least surprising success story of the year.

 

[Ozriel]

It’s certainly not ‘niche’ if their games are selling 20+ million copies and boasting 250k CCUs.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Brilliant result for the devs. Kudos.

 

[moniker]

It's going to do even higher numbers in a few hours.

 

[poodaddy]

Absolutely adore this success for what I consider the most talented modern studio in the industry. Amazing stuff, and I can't wait to see the ideas for game design and mechanics that this one explores, as It Takes Two blew me away with the sheer number of 'games' that were inside that game.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I've refreshed the screenshots in the OP as the game broke yesterday 's peak CCU a short while ago.

Also...

 

[Rockman33]

Bought it on console. Awesome game so far!

 

[Lootlord]

Also...

Is it just me or are the animations in the game really awkward?

 

[Certinty]

I’ve seen enough, Josef Fares is who Neil Druckmann thinks he is. What a man.

 

[poodaddy]

Is it just me or are the animations in the game really awkward?

Yeah it's just you, they look incredible.

 

[VeganElduderino]

Awesome! This completely throws my concern out the window that this game was launching with no fanfare. It's just not that popular on GAF it seems.

That's because they don't have friends

 

[BbMajor7th]

Played the first three hours. It's great. Up there with Astro Bot for ingenuity, creativity and fun. Larian, Arrowhead, Warhorse, Hazelight... European game dev is really delivering just lately.

Where the hell is the OT?
