Why this page exists: Exact observed query: group planning before buying or starting a session.

The confirmed limit

Steam lists support for 2–4 players, and the developer’s announcement uses the same range. That agreement is the only group-size claim this guide makes.

The same official ceiling applies whether the group uses online co-op or the v2.0 Local mode.

Choose the matching play guide

Group size is only the first decision. Use the linked guide for the actual online, local, or larger-group question instead of treating the 2–4 label as setup instructions.

  • Online play — follow the Online Co-op answer.
  • Local play — follow the v2.0 Couch Co-op setup.
  • A group larger than four — follow the separate current Mod-status answer.
