Can my partner join with a Friend Pass?

Your purchase does not provide Friend Pass access for your partner. They need to purchase the game as well.

Do we both need to buy the game without a Friend Pass?

Each player needs a purchased copy to play together. Having a friend ready to join does not remove that requirement.

How do we use a Friend Pass in We Were Here Tomorrow?

There is no pass to redeem or activate. Arrange for both players to own the game, or create a public lobby if you are looking for a partner.

We Were Here Tomorrow Friend Pass: Playing With a Partner

Quick Answer

Your partner needs to buy the game to play with you. We Were Here Tomorrow has no Friend Pass system, so you cannot bring someone in as a free guest through a pass. If you need a partner, you can create a public lobby in the game and wait for someone to join.

Is there a Friend Pass in We Were Here Tomorrow?

There is no Friend Pass system in We Were Here Tomorrow. If you came looking for a pass that lets your partner join through your purchase, plan for both of you to own the game instead.

The practical distinction is between having someone to play with and giving that person access to the game. Choosing a friend solves the first part. It does not replace their purchase. Before you arrange a session, tell your partner that they need their own copy, rather than asking them to look for a Friend Pass download.

You may know the idea from It Takes Two or Split Fiction: someone buys the game and a partner joins through a Friend Pass. That is the comparison to set aside here. Bring the same enthusiasm for playing together, but make your plans around separate purchases.

A Friend Pass and crossplay answer different questions. This page covers whether your partner can join through a pass; check co-op and crossplay when your question is about playing together across platforms.

How do you use a Friend Pass to join a friend?

You cannot use a Friend Pass to join a friend in this game. The route to playing together starts with each player purchasing the game, rather than one player redeeming access supplied by the other.

For your planned session, work through the ownership question first:

Ask your intended partner whether they already own the game.
If only you own it, your partner needs to buy it before you can play together.
If neither of you owns it, account for a purchase for each of you when deciding to play.

These are purchase requirements, rather than pass activation steps. There is no benefit to making your partner search for a redeemable Friend Pass as part of this plan. Agreeing on that up front keeps you both focused on getting ready for the same session.

If your friend already owns the game, the Friend Pass question is settled: you both have the required copies. Your next concern is arranging to play together. Keep ownership separate from any platform question, since a second purchase and crossplay are different parts of planning a co-op session.

How can you find a partner without a Friend Pass?

You can create a public lobby in the game and wait for another player to join. This gives you a way to look for company when you do not have a particular friend ready to play.

Create a public lobby in the game.
Wait for someone to join that lobby.

A public lobby is a way to find another player. It does not give a friend access through your copy, so the requirement for both players to purchase the game still applies. Choose this route when you want someone to play with, rather than treating it as a substitute for your friend's purchase.

You can also look for a partner through the Steam forums or the game's Discord server. Those are other places to find someone to play with; the public lobby lets you look from inside the game itself.

Once you have a partner and both own the game, you can turn from arranging the session to working through it together. Keep the walkthrough handy for the route ahead, or head to the Rehabilitation Suite walkthrough when you need help with that chapter.
