Is We Were Here Tomorrow split screen? No
Last updated:
No. We Were Here Tomorrow has no split screen and no couch co-op. It is online co-op only for exactly two players, each on their own device with their own copy, a microphone and an internet connection. You can still play in the same room on two screens, and crossplay lets PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S players team up.

What does the Steam page say?
The official Steam store page lists only Online Co-op and Cross-Platform Multiplayer as multiplayer features — there is no Shared/Split Screen or local co-op tag. Its note reads that the game is co-op only and requires both players to have a working PC-compatible microphone and an internet connection. (Checked 2026-10-28.)
Why is there no split screen?
We Were Here games are asymmetric: you are often separated, each sees a different half of the puzzle, and you talk through walkie-talkies. A shared screen would remove that. In a Steam Community thread asking to bring couch co-op back, players note that split screen would trivialise most of the puzzles.
How to play in the same room
- Use two devices (any mix of PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S) and two copies.
- Wear headsets and sit so you cannot see each other's screen.
- If voice drops, see voice chat fixes.

Why is there no split screen?
The series is built on asymmetric puzzles: you are often separated and only talk through walkie-talkies, so seeing your partner's screen would give away half of every puzzle. Players in the Steam discussions make the same point.
Can a PC player play with a PS5 or Xbox player?
Yes. Crossplay works between PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. See the crossplay page.
