Lethal Company is a co-op horror game that can support up to four players at a time by default, but some players felt that this was too few for a proper wrecking crew and created mods to expand the default party size by several degrees of magnitude.
Here’s how to get the eight or up to 32-player mod for Lethal Company and enjoy the game with a few more friends.

Download and install BepInEx
Before we get into the details of installing the eight or up to 32-player mod, we first must highlight one important step: downloading and installing the BepInEx plugin framework for Lethal Company. This is a little software extension for Unity that many mods, including this one, depend on and require it to function properly.
Installing BepInEx is a necessary step that many of the best mods for Lethal Company depend on. We advise you to do that first before continuing with other mods.
Install the MoreCompany mod for Lethal Company
The mod we’ll need is the MoreCompany mod, which expands the maximum size to eight but can go even beyond that up to 32 players total. The mod’s creator recommends players not to go over the eight-player limit as it can potentially break the game’s UI as it was simply never meant to support that many players at once. Here’s how to download and install the MoreCompany mod:
- Go to the mod’s Thunderstore page.
- Select “Manual Download,” and save the .zip archive to your desired location.
- Go to Steam, then Library, then right-click on Lethal Company.
- Hover over “Manage,” and select “Browse Local Files.”
- Open the .zip archive and transfer the BepInEx folder into the Lethal Company install directory.
With the mod fully installed, go ahead and start a lobby. To play this mod with others, however, you must ensure that every player attempting to join also has the mod installed. With the mod installed for every player, the player size will increase, but if one player doesn’t, the size will remain at four.
And that’s it; you’ll now have the mod installed. To enjoy the mod’s features to the fullest with other players, ensure everyone has followed these steps and has the mod installed for maximum compatibility.
The mod’s author warns that if some players don’t have the mod installed or have an older version, it can lead to bugs and crashes.
