Lethal Company player limit: How many players can play co-op?

There’s a limit to how many people can join you on your scrap run in Lethal Company. But what exactly is the player limit?

You’ve maybe seen Lethal Company being played with eight players or in extreme cases there are 20 player lobbies. But just how many players can The Company send out of the airlock at once?

Lethal Company max players: How many can play at once?

A max of four players can play Lethal Company in co-op. Only a total of four players are meant to join a server and try their hand at beating the quota. Players can easily be invited using the Steam friends list via the friends-only tab under servers. Make sure you have launched using the Online mode.

The more players you have in the lobby, the easier the game is to beat. While there is no ending in Lethal Company, the quota continues to rise and with the help of three friends or random players, you can try to stop the inevitable of being fired and thrown out of the airlock.

You’re not restricted to four players either. You can easily head into a game solo, or play co-op with multiple people at a time. But the default for Lethal Company is one to four players maximum.
