The quick answer

The Steam description advertises up to four players in hosted online co-op and up to 32 on a dedicated server. These describe different hosting routes; a server’s configured limit and current platform compatibility still need checking.[1]

Understand the distinction

Before inviting friends, agree on the world you will use, who maintains it and whether the host must be present. A larger advertised player ceiling does not mean a personal co-op save automatically becomes a dedicated server.[1]

Suggested checklist

  1. Choose between continuing a host’s co-op world and joining a maintained server.[1]
  2. Have every player check the installed version and the server’s connection instructions.[1]
  3. Record the server details and the person responsible for world backups before investing in a long shared session.[1]

Limits and next steps

The cited limits are a Steam desktop listing snapshot, not a blanket cross-play or save-migration promise.[1]
