We Were Here Tomorrow news: patches, demo and what comes next

Short answer: as of 2 November 2026, We Were Here Tomorrow has shipped two post-launch patches. Patch 1.1.2 arrived on 23 October with softlock, crash and voice-chat fixes; Patch 1.1.3 followed on 30 October with motion-sickness options, checkpoint feedback and role swapping at every checkpoint. The studio says another patch is coming in November, and the demo is no longer available on Steam.

What Patch 1.1.3 changed

This is the comfort and usability patch. The full notes are longer, but the parts that affect a normal session are:

• Four motion-sickness options under Gameplay > General: HUD vignette, larger reticle, HUD border and border anchors. Any combination can be toggled at any time.
• A save icon now appears whenever a checkpoint is reached.
• Role swapping in the lobby now works at every checkpoint, not just the opening one.
• Voice chat no longer loses sound after using the microphone test.
• Movement improvements on specific surfaces, plus assorted gameplay fixes.

If you stopped playing because the camera made you ill, this patch is aimed directly at you. The settings do not change the game's field of view, but they reduce the visual noise around the edges of the screen.

What Patch 1.1.2 changed

The first patch was about stability. It fixed:

• players stuck on a black screen while loading checkpoints,
• parts of the world failing to load,
• voice chat failing to reconnect when the Vivox servers went offline,
• the walkie-talkie disappearing,
• inventory items becoming permanently blocked after emoting or interacting,
• slower shader compilation at startup.

It also added DX11 as a launch option for PCs that struggled with the default renderer. That is worth knowing if your machine meets the listed requirements but still stutters.

Is the demo still available?

No. The demo had several limited windows through 2026, and the final one closed in late July. The Steam page no longer offers a demo build, and there is no announced plan to bring it back.

That matters for two reasons. First, you cannot test the game before buying. Second, the old demo guides online describe puzzles from a build that no longer exists, so treat their solutions as historical rather than current. Our demo guide explains what the demo contained and why it was removed.

What has not been announced

The studio has confirmed a November patch but not its contents. There is also no announced DLC, no roadmap, no chapter count and no sales milestone. Anything claiming a date for those is guessing.

The honest state of the game is: launched, patched twice, stable enough to play, with one more patch promised. That is a normal first month for a co-op puzzle release.

What to read next

If you are starting the game, the walkthrough hub covers the chapter structure without spoiling puzzle solutions, and the achievements guide lists the collectibles. For a sense of length, the how long to beat page puts the campaign in context with the rest of the series.
