We Were Here Tomorrow PS5: Price and PS Plus

The PS Store lists the game for PlayStation 5 only. There is no PS4 version, and no sign of a last-generation release; the platform line on the product page names PS5 alone.

The price shown is $17.99, marked as discounted from $19.99, with a separate note about saving 10% with PlayStation Plus. Those two lines are easy to misread as one, so read them as: the game is currently $17.99 for everyone, and Plus members are additionally invited to a 10% membership saving.

The page also carries the launch-price disclaimer that the game was available at $19.99 from its October 20 release and for at least 30 days afterwards, with $19.99 as the lowest price in the previous 30 days. That confirms $17.99 is a discount rather than a price cut.

The PS4 omission is worth stating plainly because the series is old enough that many players own the previous console. There is no PS4 build and no upgrade path, so a PlayStation 4 household needs a PS5 before this game is an option.

Online play requires PlayStation Plus, and the store states it twice: "PS Plus required for online play" and "supports up to 2 online players with PS Plus". Since there is no solo mode and no split-screen, a PS5 pair without Plus cannot play at all.

This is the single biggest trap for console buyers, because the game looks like a local co-op title and is not. Two DualSense controllers on one sofa will not start a session.

If you are pairing a PS5 with a PC friend, only the console side needs Plus. The PC player needs Steam, a copy and a microphone, and nothing else.

The PS Store shows 4.78 out of 5 from 134 ratings near the top of the page, and a global player ratings block further down with 4.71 out of 5 from 150 ratings, 87% of which are five stars.

That is a very different picture from Steam, where the game sits at 48% positive from more than 800 reviews. The gap is not a contradiction; it is two platforms with different launch problems and different review cultures.

Read both numbers with their sample sizes attached. A 4.78 from 134 console ratings and a 48% from 800-plus PC reviews describe the same game from two audiences, and the reviews page explains why they diverge.

The product page lists 14 accessibility features, which is unusually thorough for a small-studio puzzle game and worth checking if either player needs subtitle sizing, colour assistance or input remapping.

Cloud streaming through PS5 and the PlayStation Portal requires the Premium tier. That is a subscription detail rather than a game feature, but it is the only way to play on a handheld without a local console.

DualSense is supported, and the Steam version lists DualShock and DualSense support too, so a controller-first pair is not losing anything by choosing console.

The accessibility list is worth opening before you buy rather than after. Fourteen features is more than most indie releases offer, and for a game that is entirely about reading panels aloud, subtitle options and colour assistance do real work rather than ticking a box.

The PS Store sells a We Were Here Series Bundle at $54.99 covering six games, and it sits on the same product page as Tomorrow. For a pair who intend to play the whole series, that is the cheapest route per game.

For a single playthrough it is not worth it: two copies of Tomorrow cost less than the bundle, and the earlier entries are shorter. The studio describes the first three as comparable to "an evening out".

Bundle discounts move with store sales, so verify the price on the page rather than trusting a figure from a guide.

The most plausible explanation is technical rather than editorial. The loudest PC complaints are voice-server outages, shader compilation crashes and environment loading bugs, and at least one outlet notes that PlayStation ratings are noticeably more positive than Steam's launch response.

Review culture compounds it. Steam counts every copy owner who leaves a review, including players who bounced off a bug in the first hour, while a console store rating is a five-star tap with no text requirement.

None of that means the PS5 version is bug-free. The official support site keeps separate known-issue pages per platform, and we have only read the PC one in detail, so treat console-specific bug lists as unconfirmed. What the store does confirm is that console players are not filing the same volume of voice-complaint reviews, which is consistent with the technical explanation.

Buy the game on both accounts rather than on one console with two profiles. The store lists up to two online players with PS Plus, and the second player needs their own entitlement and their own subscription, not a guest slot.

Start a party chat, then launch the game, and use the in-game voice rather than the party for puzzle callouts. If the in-game microphone never activates, close any Discord app running on the console before you troubleshoot the headset.

Set the subtitle language on both consoles to the same option. A pair with one English client and one localised client will describe the same panel with different words, which is a puzzle problem disguised as a settings problem.
