Co-op Multiplayer

Take on The Pack with friends. Up to 16 players can share a world.

Hosting

Start or load a world from PLAY, or use HOST on the main menu. You can make the lobby Public, Friends-only or Private (invite only). Once you're in, use INVITE in the pause menu to send Steam invites.

Joining

Press JOIN to open your Steam friends list, pick a friend, and choose Join Game. Accepting a Steam invite works too, even if the game isn't running yet. You load straight into the host's world.

Heads upThe game ends for everyone when the host leaves. There's no host migration yet.

What's shared and what's yours
