How many players is co-op, and is there split-screen?

Steps

1. Read the category column on the official Steam listing. Online Co-op, Shared/Split Screen Co-op, Shared/Split Screen and Remote Play Together are the multiplayer categories NerveLabs declares there.
2. For same-screen play, use the shared/split-screen route. PCGamingWiki records local play as co-op with the note “Split screen”, which matches the two store categories.
3. For a friend who does not own the game, Remote Play Together is a listed category; it streams from the host's PC rather than running a second copy.
4. For an ordinary internet session use Online Co-op. The store's minimum requirements state that a network connection is required for multiplayer.
5. Do not plan a LAN-only session. PCGamingWiki records LAN play as unsupported, and no NerveLabs source contradicts that.

What a player has actually seen on his own screen

Everything above is a store field or a wiki field. One recording adds a player’s voice to the split-screen half of it: an hour into a launch-week session he interrupts himself twice — you can play split screen on this, and then you can play local split screen on that — with an audible surprise, having apparently reached it by accident while pressing something else.

That is worth exactly what it is worth. It is one player reacting to what is in front of him, on a channel unconnected to the store page or the wiki, which is a different kind of confirmation than a category label. It is not a session: nothing in the recording establishes that a second character ever appeared, and no player count is spoken. So it corroborates that local split-screen exists on the shipped build and does nothing for the open question underneath it, which is how many people can use it.

Requirements / limits

• The store record lists Windows as supported and marks macOS and Linux unsupported, so every co-op route is a Windows route.
• The six-player online figure comes from PCGamingWiki alone, on a data page last edited on 19 August 2026. NerveLabs publishes no cap anywhere this site can cite.
• Two store categories declare split-screen, but neither source publishes a local player count — PCGamingWiki leaves that field empty.
• PCGamingWiki marks Steam Cloud as supported. The Steam listing's own category list, read on 23 August 2026, does not include Steam Cloud. The two disagree, and this page records the disagreement instead of resolving it.
• Co-op is still being patched. Hotfix 4 says multiplayer stability was improved with more to come, Update 6 assigns co-op quest tracking to the host, and Update 7 adds co-op companions to the compass and stops co-op allies drawing retaliation from summons. None of that changes the player counts on this page, and none of it is a statement about a cap.

Common mistakes

• Quoting six players as a developer figure. It is a wiki value with a single origin.
• Assuming split-screen and online sessions share one player cap. No cited source states a cap for local play at all.
• Reading “Online Co-op” as permission to plan a LAN party. The wiki records LAN play as unsupported.
• Treating saves as cloud-backed because a wiki field says Steam Cloud, when the store's own category list does not list it.

Still unverified

• What is the maximum local split-screen player count?Not verifiedThe store declares split-screen categories, PCGamingWiki leaves the local player-count field empty, and the one player who reaches split-screen on camera never states a number.
• Does the game sync saves through Steam Cloud?Single unconfirmed reportPCGamingWiki marks it true; the Steam category list read on 23 August 2026 does not include Steam Cloud, and NerveLabs has published no statement either way.
• Is six NerveLabs' own online cap?Single unconfirmed reportPCGamingWiki publishes the figure. No developer changelog, listing field or announcement states a party size.
