Do I need two joy cons?

No, you don't need two sets of Joy-Cons, as the Switch comes with one pair that functions as two controllers for two players or one for single-player, but getting another set (or Pro Controllers) is great for more multiplayer options, comfort, or replacing drift. The default setup lets two people play with one Joy-Con each (held sideways) or use the pair together as one controller.

You can use two Joy-Cons as one controller, but the game needs two full controller setups for two players.
