We Were Here Tomorrow Key: Where to Buy Safely

A key, CD key or digital code is a string you activate on a storefront to add the game to your library permanently. For this game the activation platform is Steam, which means the code gives you the Windows PC build and nothing else.

It is not a redemption code in the usual sense. There is no code field inside the game, no promotional code system, and no way to unlock content with a string — the 37 achievements, the plushies and the alternate solutions all come from playing.

That distinction matters because searches for "codes" and searches for "keys" get mixed together. If you want the game, you want a store purchase or a Steam key; there is nothing else to redeem.

The first tier is the official store: Steam, the PS Store and the Xbox Store. Steam at $17.99 during the launch window is the only PC channel named in the official release material, and it is the only one with a standard refund policy attached.

The second tier is authorised resale, where established stores sell publisher-supplied keys. Gamesplanet appears in search results for this game, but we have not found an official announcement naming it as an authorised partner, so treat that status as unconfirmed.

The third tier is the grey market: marketplace listings and discount key sites. They are cheaper because the codes come from regional pricing, bundle splits or retail arbitrage rather than from the studio, and the publisher does not see the revenue.

Region locks are the first risk. A code bought in a cheaper region may not activate in yours, and the failure appears at redemption rather than at purchase. We have not found a region-lock statement specific to this game, so no reseller can honestly promise "works worldwide".

Refunds are the second. A grey-market code usually cannot be refunded once revealed, and the storefront is a marketplace rather than the seller, so a disputed key becomes a support ticket with a third party.

Account risk is the third, and the smallest but least reversible: codes obtained through chargebacks or stolen cards can be revoked later, which removes the game from your library rather than refunding it.

There is also a fourth cost that is easy to overlook: the studio does not see the money. For a small team running its own servers, a grey-market purchase funds the server bill without funding the studio, and this game depends on both.

Aggregators list roughly eight stores and eleven offers for the PC version, with the cheapest around €15.21, about 15.5% below the official euro price. Those numbers move daily, so treat the range rather than any single figure as the fact.

Against the official $17.99, a €15 code saves a few euros at the cost of the three risks above. For a two-player purchase the saving doubles, which is exactly why the grey market is tempting for this game.

We do not publish a per-store price list for this title, because we could not verify each listing at the same moment. Publishing one store's number as "the price" would be worse than publishing a range.

The one number that is stable enough to quote is the official $17.99, because it comes from the store itself and carries a printed end date. Everything else is a market price and moves with supply.

Wait for the next Steam sale. The launch discount is 10%, seasonal sales are usually deeper, and this is a two-player purchase where a 30% cut saves more than a grey-market code.

Buy the series bundle if you intend to play more than one entry. The PlayStation bundle is $54.99 for six games, and Steam has an equivalent, which makes the per-game cost far lower than a single discounted key.

Use Family Sharing if you live in the same household. It is listed on the store page, but the limits are Valve's policy rather than the studio's, and we have not verified whether two accounts can play the same library at once. Treat simultaneous play as unconfirmed.

There is no PS5 key and no Xbox key. Console purchases are tied to the account that bought them, and the stores do not issue transferable codes for this title, which is why key sites only list PC.

If you see a listing promising a PS5 or Xbox code, it is either a different product or a scam. The console stores are the only legitimate route, and PS Plus is required for online play on PlayStation.

Mixed pairs are common here because of crossplay, so a PC player with a key and a PS5 player with a store copy can still play together. Neither of you needs the other's platform.

Four questions separate a safe purchase from an experiment. Does the listing name Steam as the activation platform? Does it state the region the code is locked to? Is the seller the store itself rather than a marketplace user? And is there a written refund policy for a code that fails to activate?

A listing that answers all four is worth considering. A listing that answers none of them is a lottery ticket with a game attached.

The official store answers all four by default, which is the whole argument for paying a few dollars more. The key page exists because people search for it, not because the cheaper route is better.
