From the creators of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons comes A Way Out, an exclusively co-op adventure where you play the role of one of two prisoners making their daring escape from prison.
What begins as a thrilling breakout quickly turns into an unpredictable, emotional adventure unlike anything seen or played before.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Share in the epic journey of two brothers, as they set out to find a cure for their dying father. Travel across beautiful vistas, through dark and foreboding forests, down perilous rivers, up hazardous mountain sides and experience the wonders of Nordic mythology along the way.

Also, flying through a mob of angry rodents in a plane made of underpants is 1000% more fun when you have a co-pilot.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. There are some alterations to the implementation, but in spirit, Friend’s Pass allows you to play with a friend for free.
Friend’s Pass offers cross-gen but not cross-platform play. For example, Player 1 can be playing on PlayStation 5 and invite Player 2 on PlayStation 4. But Player 1 playing on PlayStation 5 cannot invite Player 2 on a non-PlayStation console. The save system also works cross-gen.

Yes, save progress will be carried over. In addition, if they've joined a game session and the game was saved, it will automatically unlock all chapters up until that point for the joining player. So if Player 2 purchases It Takes Two for themselves and then host a game, they would either be able to continue from their last session's save, or select any of the chapters before that save to play.
Only someone who owns It Takes Two can host their own games. Player 2 won’t be able to play the game through their own incentive, as they don’t own it. They are dependent on playing with Player 1, or being invited by anyone else who already owns the game.
The point where play starts is determined by Player 1's progression. Player 1 would be able to choose whether to start a new game, continue from their previous session's save, or choose from any other chapter Player 1 has unlocked.
Hosts can only invite one friend at a time, but they can invite another friend once the previous friend has stopped playing.
Yes, both players will need a PlayStation Plus subscription to play together online.
