We’ve received heartfelt messages from players all over the world about how Tyler’s homecoming as a trans man and Alyson’s struggle with trauma have impacted them, encouraged them, or made them feel a little less alone, especially amid the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic and pervasive transphobic rhetoric in places like the United States and the United Kingdom. Since Tell Me Why’s release late last summer, the team at DONTNOD and Xbox Game Studios Publishing have been humbled by and deeply grateful for the many gamers – especially trans and queer gamers – who have found understanding and hope in our game. From Jthrough June 30, 2021, downloading Tell Me Why will give you permanent access to the title on the platform of your choice, even after Pride Month is over. This Pride Month, we’re making Tell Me Why free on all available platforms – Xbox consoles, Windows 10, and Steam. This year, Pride Month comes at a period of intensifying bigotry and harmful legislation against trans, nonbinary and gender non-conforming people in many parts of the world. June is Pride Month – a time for LGBTQIA+ communities to celebrate who they are. If you haven't played Tell Me Why before, it also recommends checking out the game's FAQ, which highlights, among other things, how Dontnod wrote Tyler's character with help from LGBTQIA+ advocacy group GLAAD. As one example, Dontnod suggests supporting queer and trans developers and creators by buying their games, pointing to titles like If Found.

"Our intention in making Tell Me Why free for June 2021 is both to allow even more people to access the game and to encourage our players to spend their money in places that will directly affect trans and queer communities," the studio said. That's a record-breaking year for that type of legislation.

Using the US as an example: as of April, 33 states passed more than 100 bills restricting the rights of transgender individuals. Tyler Ronan, one of the playable characters in Tell Me Why, is transgender, and as the studio points out, it's been a challenging year for nonbinary and gender non-conforming the world over. Once it's tied to your account, it will stay there, allowing you to play it even after Pride Month is over. You can download it on Xbox consoles, the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 and Steam.

That includes all three episodes, not just the first one the studio previously gave away to allow people to try the title. In honor of Pride Month 2021, developer Dontnod Entertainment has made the game available to anyone who wants to experience it. Starting today through to the end of June, you can download Tell Me Why for free.
