Psychonauts 2 will offer an invincibility mode to ensure "all ages, all pos♔sible needs" will be able to complete the game. 

Developer Double Fine confirmed the new fe𝄹ature by replying to a tw🌱eet from parent company Xbox that said: "beating the game on the lowest difficulty is still beating the game".

The reply agreed with Xbox, stating: "If you beat Psychonauts 2 with the invincibility toggle on, y𓃲ou still beat P💧2."

"'Uh, excuse me I beat Sword Guy Serious Time on a no hit hard mode and if [you] didn't do that I don't respect you. and like, can you even comment on things if you're not diamond six rank in shooty mcBlam? I don't think so'. Cool bud. you're soooo cool!" teased a 𒀰tongue-in-cheek follow-up  (thanks, ).

"All people should be able to enjoy g♓ames. All ages, all possible needs. It's an ongoing and important process for our industry and a challenge we need to meet.

"End of the 💫day? We want you to have fun, to laugh, to experience a story that affects you. On whatever terms you want."
