Today’s update for It Takes Two adds support for Steam Deck and game invites through the Steam friends list, and removes the need for the EA App launcher.

It Takes Two is now Steam Deck Verified! so you can play it anywhere on the go!
The EA App launcher is no longer needed to play It Takes Two.
An EA account is still required to connect to EA servers for online play.
Sending game invites and joining your friends’ games is now supported directly through the Steam friends list.
Friend’s Pass users can install the new Steam version of the Friend’s Pass, or continue using the existing EA App Friend’s Pass.
FAQ
Do I need to add my Steam friend to the EA friends list to invite them to play?
The EA friends list is no longer required to play with someone that has It Takes Two through Steam.
You can now send game invites directly through Steam to anyone on your Steam friends list!
The EA App is still starting when I play the Friend's Pass
The old EA App Friend's Pass version of the game has been replaced with a new one.
To play the Friend's Pass without the EA App, please install the new version of the Friend's Pass.
If you do not wish to reinstall the game, the old Friend's Pass will continue to work through the EA App.
However, because it is running through EA App, you will need to use the in-game EA Friends List to send EA invites.
Sending or accepting invites through the Steam Friends List requires the new version of the Friend's Pass.
Can I still play with a friend that has the game through the EA App?
Yes! When inviting a friend to play, choose the "EA Friends List" option in-game.
From there, you can add their EA Account to your EA friends list, and send a game invite to them through EA.
Invites sent through EA are only visible while It Takes Two is running.
What happened to EA App Cloud Saves?
It Takes Two now uses the Steam Cloud for save games.
Save games you have on your computer will automatically be uploaded to the Steam Cloud when you start the game.
Due to technical limitations, save games previously stored in the EA App Cloud are no longer accessible.
For any players that have lost progress because of this, please download this completed save game and copy it to your save data folder in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\ItTakesTwo
After starting It Takes Two with this completed save, the Chapter Select menu can be used to continue playing from any point in the game.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Do I still need an EA Account?
As before, in order to connect to EA servers for online play an EA Account must be linked to your Steam account.
Selecting 'Play Online' from the main menu will prompt you to link an EA Account if one is not already linked.
An EA account is no longer required for local play or when using Steam Remote Play Together.
EDIT: When this announcement was posted it included a mention of steam family sharing support.
Unfortunately, due to a technical limitation in Steam's Family Sharing feature it cannot currently be used by games that have a Friend's Pass version like It Takes Two.
The patch notes text was corrected shortly after the announcement was posted.
