The Day Before Steam keys are being resold for silly money, for some reason

Save your money

By now, you’ve probably heard of The Day Before, one of 2023’s most disastrous game launches and, quite possibly, one of the worst games ever.

Despite the calamity of a launch so badly riddled with bugs that some players couldn’t even leave the game’s opening sequence, gamers are listing Steam keys for the game for over $300 each. This is happening even though the game has been shut down, refunded on Steam - and even the developer has closed its doors.

Was The Day Before ever a genuine game?

After all of this, you would think that nobody would want anything to do with the game, and yet. It’s hard to know at this point whether anyone will buy a key for that price. Let’s be honest, scalpers will sell anything and some buyers will be attracted to anything that saw a limited release. There are many people who might just want to own a piece of gaming history.

The whole production cycle for the game was a sorry state of affairs bundled up with plenty of controversy. The game, which was at one point the most wish-listed game on Steam, was accused of being a scam, of flipping assets, of plagiarising other games for its trailer, and then the launch came and left everyone with a sour taste in their mouths. Gamers let their anger be known via thousands of negative reviews on Steam.

It should be stressed that owning a key for this awful game doesn’t bring any kind of clout and it’s unlikely that anyone will want to buy it from you 10 years from now. The game’s servers, which are still live at the time of writing but could likely be taken offline soon, are an empty wasteland. The game is unplayable and the studio has folded - though they may have just changed their name. Simply put, save your money.
