We Were Here Together

We Were Here Together is a cooperative puzzle adventure told from a first-person perspective by Total Mayhem Games. Two members of an Antarctic expedition follow a distress call from the ice. The search leads from the research base camp through snowy landscapes to Castle Rock.

The game is designed for exactly two players in online co-op. Both receive different information and must share their observations via walkie-talkie to move forward together. A single-player campaign mode is not planned.

We Were Here Together came out on Oct 10, 2019 on Steam for PC. The Xbox One version followed on Jun 5, 2020, and a PlayStation 4 version in 2021. The native PS5 version is dated Sep 25, 2025 on the PlayStation Store, and the Nintendo Switch version came out on Oct 9, 2025.

Since Oct 9, 2025, the game supports crossplay between PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. The Xbox version is now optimized for Series X|S and uses Smart Delivery. Microsoft has not named a separate launch date for the dedicated Series optimization.

We Were Here Together is available for Windows PC and macOS, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The respective native versions and possible backward compatibility should be kept apart.

The game requires an online connection and a co-op partner.

Most puzzles rely on asymmetric perspectives. One player sees, for example, signs or mechanisms that the other cannot reach. Solutions only emerge through precise description, asking questions and reasoning together. Communication is part of the mechanics and not just an add-on to the actual game.

The journey begins at the Antarctic research outpost. Later, the two characters explore snowy areas and the winding Castle Rock. Shared scenes alternate with situations in which they are physically apart. The mysterious story of the expedition ties the puzzle rooms together.

Steam lists for Windows at least Windows 10 (64-bit), an Intel Core i5 of the 4000 series or equivalent, 8 GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 1060 with 6 GB, DirectX 11 and 20 GB of free storage. Integrated graphics are not supported.

Windows 11, 16 GB RAM and a GTX 1660 Ti are recommended. A working microphone and a broadband internet connection are required for co-op. The macOS version has separate minimum requirements.

The two players often see different information and must explain symbols, rooms or processes via Walkie-Talkie. Describing precisely and listening therefore replace part of the usual hints on the screen.

Steam describes the adventure explicitly as playable only in co-op. Both players need access to the game, a microphone and internet. The developer support explains that with the virtual walkie-talkie, speaking at the same time does not always work like in a normal voice chat.

On Oct 9, 2025, Total Mayhem Games enabled crossplay for the older three We Were Here games, including Together. Since then, players can connect across PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

The feature permanently expands player matchmaking, but does not create cross-platform purchase eligibility. On consoles, the requirements of the respective online service still apply. Stable connections and microphones remain important for the puzzles.

According to Steam, the PC version offers German user interface and subtitles, while full voice acting is in English. Steam also lists achievements, cloud saves and trading cards. On other devices, the details of the respective store apply.

Steam lists an Original Soundtrack and a Supporter Edition as separate add-ons. These extras replace neither the base game nor a separate platform version.
