We Were Here Tomorrow on PS5: What You Get

Short answer: We Were Here Tomorrow is available on PS5 now, released 20 October 2026 at $19.99 / €19.99 / £16.99. It is a two-player online co-op game with full crossplay, so a PS5 owner can play with a friend on PC or Xbox. There is no split-screen and no single-player mode.

Sony's store page does not publish a frame rate or resolution for the PS5 build, and Total Mayhem Games has not issued a performance statement. Treat any specific "4K/60" claim as unverified.

Do you need PlayStation Plus?

Yes, for online play. The game has no offline mode, so a PS5 session needs an active PlayStation Plus subscription on the console that hosts the lobby. That is standard for PS5 multiplayer and not a choice the developer made.

The exception is local play on the same console - and there isn't any. The game is built around two separate screens and two separate viewpoints, so both players need their own machine and their own copy.

How to play with a PC friend

Crossplay is built in, not bolted on. The steps:

1. Both players install the game and finish the opening calibration.
2. One player hosts a lobby and notes the room code.
3. The other joins by code from the main menu, regardless of platform.
4. Add each other as friends in-game so voice chat and invites work consistently.
5. If voice chat fails, check the audio settings before assuming the lobby is broken - patch 1.1.3 fixed a microphone-test bug that could mute the channel.

Our crossplay guide covers the platform combinations, and the co-op setup page covers invites and voice chat in more detail.

Is the PS5 version different from PC?

Content-wise, no. The puzzles, chapters and achievements are the same. The differences are platform-level:

• Controls: DualSense is supported, and the Steam version lists DualSense features too, so the pad layout is consistent across platforms.
• Performance: PC has published system requirements and a DX11 fallback added in patch 1.1.2. PS5 has one build and no graphics menu of comparable depth.
• Voice chat: the game uses its own voice system rather than platform party chat, so it behaves the same on both.
• Updates: console patches go through certification, so PS5 can lag PC by a few days.

Is the PS5 version worth it?

If your co-op partner is on PS5, yes - it is the only way to play together on that platform, and crossplay means the platform choice does not lock you out of friends elsewhere. If you own both a PS5 and a gaming PC, the PC version is the more flexible one: it has a DX11 fallback, family sharing and easier capture/mod handling.

What the PS5 version does not have is a Next-gen showcase. There is no ray-tracing mode, no performance/quality toggle and no announced haptic puzzle integration. It is a clean port of a stylised puzzle game, not a technical flagship.

The price and editions page covers what the deluxe content includes, and the release date page covers unlock times.
