We Happy Few FAQ

[Naila 36]

Hey all,

Before you create a new thread, here is some basic information:

On what platforms will WHF be released on?

We Happy Few is currently available on Windows PC (Early Access and GOG.com Games in Development) and Xbox One (Game Preview). We have also announced PS4 which will be available for the full release and the Mac/Linux versions will arrive shortly after the full release.

The game is not exclusive to Windows 10.

If you have the game on Xbox One but would like to play on PC, you can wait until the game launches on Play Anywhere which will be ready for 1.0

I have purchased the Early Access, do I have to pay again once the full game releases?

Oh dear, no, you are settled.

I have purchased the Early Access, what do I get?

You get the pre-order bonus the Jolly Brolly. Your game will automatically update to the full game on August 10.

We Happy Few bugs or issues with buying or installing the game:

Please file a ticket to Gearbox support at <https://gearboxsoftware.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new …> and they'll get back to you as soon as they can.

I am a Kickstarter backer, what do I get?

You get the Jolly Brolly and the Season Pass. Your game will automatically update to the full game on August 10.

When will WHF be released?

We Happy Few will be released worldwide both digital and retail August 10, 2018 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Why Early Access?

Since March 2015, we have been building We Happy Few openly with our community. First at PAX East, then with our Kickstarter pre-alpha players, and now on Early Access. However, this is a fully 3D procedural world, intended to be played over and over again, with multiple playstyles, and with multiple characters. We need solid feedback to make sure that we create the best game we can, and Early Access has already made the game substantially better. Our last major content update was the Life in Technicolour update[link], our next update will be the full release.

When will I receive my Kickstarter rewards?

The keys to the game, the posters and T-shirts have been sent (if you haven’t received yours, email us at support@compulsiongames.com).

The soundtrack and the art book are coming very soon around launch time. All the merchandise will be shipped once we release the game (no early spoilers!).

Can I record footage or live stream?

Absolutely. For more info on content creation policy, click here.

Can I send you my ideas for your next game?

We don’t have enough time to implement our own ideas! 

Will you translate the game in [...]?

The final version of the game will be officially localized in: French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Russian, Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese.

But there is also currently a Steam Workshop for community localization!
 

Cheers,

I've tried other Early Access games on Steam. Some have failed, some are so-so, and a few have succeeded. At this point, I rate We Happy We as intriguing and full of potential. Hope you continue improving the game.

Does 29.99 refer to the price of the game now or the price of the game after release?

[Naila 36]

@Mertva_syluet

 

This is the current price but it will go up as we approach the final release of the game.

[UncleJackSays 0]

question how different will the game be on its final release?

[Alex 3]

Much, much bigger, with much more content, more and better mechanics, and player character stories. Also more music. It's the different between boot camp and actually jumping into Normandy.

Quick question how much space on Xbox will this take I want it but I’m getting another game too and I want space for both

[lex920 0]

So since I purchased the game preview on xbox one, will I need to repurchase the official release?

[Naila 36]

@lex920 No you don't have to, the full game will update automatically

[Daecrow 0]

Ok so i bought the preview and it will update at launch ok, but as of now the only way to get the season pass is with the digital deluxe version, will that change at launch?

Will this mean a New Game will be necessary to see all this new stuff or will we be able to continue on with out current "sandbox" game?

You will have to start the game from the start, what's coming out on August 10th will be new and completely different from what you can play now.

There will still be a sandbox mode available, as far as I'm aware, however.

[Guest hhill2020]

Is We Happy Few still planned for the Mac? There hasn't been any news or conversation about this for some time, so just checking in.

[Guest Njag]

If we bought the preview version on xbox will we get the pre-order bonus or anything from deluxe? I've had the game since day 1 so it would only be fair to people like myself.

As far as I am aware as an Xbox Game Preview supporter you will get the Jolly Brolly weapon as a bonus. Kickstarter backers get additional benefits.

If I don’t have to pay again why does it ask me to preorder for 80 something dollars. Won’t be paying for it again, if this is the case this game will flop due to angry people who helped you out and now you gonna rip em off

I don't know what platform you're on but it doesn't matter because you do not have to rebuy the game if you bought it during Early Access or Xbox Game Preview. You already own it.

The only thing you would have to buy is the (completely optional and not needed to experience the full game) season pass for new content later on.

Yes. Arthur first, then Sally, then Ollie.

[Guest Bobby]

Will the game be dubbed into other languages or just subtitled?
