Does Takeover 2 have online co-op?
Three ways to share a screen, and no lobby
The Steam tags I read are single-player, multi-player, co-op, shared/split screen co-op, shared/split screen, Remote Play Together, and Remote Play on TV. I do not see online co-op, online PvP, or cross-play. IGN’s game page says local two-player multiplayer. Those two sources agree on the shape: two people, one copy, same room or a stream.
Local play means two controllers, or a controller and a keyboard, on one PC. Steam uses the combined category “Shared/Split Screen Co-op”; that category does not establish a separate split-screen camera. Remote Play Together lets a Steam friend join a stream of your session. They do not buy the game. That is still your PC doing the work. It is not a matchmade online mode, and I will not describe it as one.
What I will not add
Takeover 2 supports two local players; the four playable fighters are character choices, not four controller ports. The predecessor also supports local co-op: its Steam description says “solo or alongside a friend,” and Nintendo lists one to two players. Local co-op therefore carries over from the first game rather than debuting in the sequel.
A Giant Bomb Quick Look with Matt McMuscles shows two-player footage. I link it as a video of people playing, not as a rules document. If a later patch adds a lobby, the updates page is where that sentence should land first.
Questions
Can I play Takeover 2 online with a friend?
Not in a matchmade lobby. Remote Play Together streams your copy. There is no online co-op tag.
How many players?
Two. The sources say local two-player. A four-player count is not published.
