With Your Friends?

Read the guideIs Scam With Your Friends free?
The Steam version is a paid Early Access game. Price and discounts depend on your region and the date you check.
Read the guideWhy is my microphone not working?
First check whether speech creates readable text. A microphone-input issue, a recognition problem and an AI-response failure need different checks.
Read the guideDo I need a personal AI key?
Official Backend AI access is included. A host-owned OpenRouter key and Deepgram recognition are optional; using personal provider accounts can have separate costs.
Read the guideDoes the game record my voice?
Call recordings and related transcripts are saved locally by default. Temporary recordings can still be used for boss reviews when permanent saving is disabled.
Read the guideCan I play on Xbox, PS5 or mobile?
Windows PC through Steam is confirmed. No publisher-confirmed console or mobile release was found in the official sources checked on October 21, 2026.
