Detroit: Become Human — Steam gift

Detroit: Become Human: buy a Steam gift for the android thriller

Detroit: Become Human is a cinematic interactive drama from the French studio Quantic Dream, the creators of Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls. It's set in the Detroit of 2038, where androids have become ordinary household appliances — and have suddenly started to feel. You guide three protagonists at once: the housekeeper android Kara, the police investigator Connor, and Markus, the leader of the awakening machines. Here you can buy the game as a Steam gift: we send it straight to your Steam account through a bot.

What the game is and why it's worth playing

Detroit: Become Human isn't a classic action title — it's a branching story where almost every decision changes something. Characters here are genuinely mortal: fail a scene and a hero can die, and the story carries on without them. There are dozens of endings, built from hundreds of small choices — from whether Connor lied during an interrogation to whether Markus led the uprising peacefully or by force. After a playthrough the game shows you a flowchart of your decisions, revealing how many branches you skipped — which is why people replay it for the other paths.

Three heroes — three views of one revolution

• Kara — a housekeeper android who flees an abusive owner and protects a young girl, Alice. Her storyline is about motherhood and the right to be alive.
• Connor — a prototype detective investigating cases of “deviant” androids. His arc is about choosing between orders and conscience.
• Markus — a caretaker android who becomes the face of the machines' fight for freedom. Through him you decide what the revolution becomes.

What the edition includes

You get the standard edition of Detroit: Become Human — the complete game, with nothing cut from the story and no mandatory paid add-ons. There's no separate Deluxe/Gold version of this game: the standard edition is the final, full release with the whole story and every ending. It launched on Steam on June 18, 2020 (originally released on PlayStation 4 in 2018, and on PC first via the Epic Games Store).

How we deliver the gift

The purchase is handled as a Steam Gift. When ordering you provide your Steam friend invite link (s.team/p/...) and your account region. Our bot then adds itself to your friends, sends the gift, and automatically removes itself from your friends list after delivery — you don't need to accept anything manually. Delivery usually takes a couple of minutes from checkout. Steam Guard is not required to receive the gift.

Region and key conditions

The main rule for Steam gifts: your Steam account region must match the gift region, otherwise Steam simply won't let you accept it. So enter your real account region when ordering and pick the matching variant. The second condition is that the account must not already own Detroit: Become Human — Steam won't accept a gift for a game already in the library. Your profile settings must also allow friend requests, or the bot won't be able to reach you.

System requirements and platforms

Detroit: Become Human on Steam is a Windows release. On Steam Deck and Linux it runs through the Proton compatibility layer; there's no native Linux build. It plays great on a controller or with keyboard and mouse — the controls are built around contextual actions and QTEs rather than complex mechanics.

Why people replay it

Detroit: Become Human has huge replay value. A single playthrough is just one of many possible versions of events: one of your heroes might survive, another might not, the revolution can end in peace or in blood, and Kara might reach the border or fall short. After each chapter the game shows a clear flowchart of branches and highlights the choices other players around the world made. Spot a rare branch almost nobody unlocked and you'll want to start over to reach exactly that. That's why most people play through it more than once.

Atmosphere and presentation

The game looks like a high-budget series: detailed actor faces, motion capture, expressive performances, and a strong score from three separate composers — each hero has their own theme. The themes are mature too: what it means to be alive, where the line sits between a program and a person, how society treats “the other”. It isn't a philosophical treatise but a tense thriller, yet it leaves you with plenty to think about after the credits.

If you love story-driven games

If this “playable cinema” format with heavy moral choices clicks with you, check out the other Quantic Dream games — the bleak detective story Heavy Rain about the search for a missing child, and the supernatural drama Beyond: Two Souls starring Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe. All three share one thing: your decisions genuinely reshape the story.
