Sons of the Forest strands you on a remote island infested with cannibals and all manners of other dangers, so nobody will blame you if you’re wondering about the max player amount the title supports.
Although surviving on your own is certainly a personal accolade worth pursuing, facing deadly enemies, building up bases, and solving puzzles alongside friends or other like-minded players can take some of the pressure off, allowing you to focus on better understanding how to push forward and avoid death.
Here is what we know about the Sons of the Forest Max Players amount.
How many players can play Sons of the Forest together?
The good news is that Sons of the Forest won’t force you to play as a solitary survivor. Developer Endnight Games has confirmed that the highly anticipated sequel will support up to 8 players in its multiplayer mode, so you can have a fairly sizeable party roaming the island in search of resources.

Sons of the Forest also introduces AI-controlled companions that can lend a hand with different tasks, like chopping down wood or defending you against enemies, but it’s unclear at the moment if they count towards the number of max supported players.
Even without them, having one or seven other pals join you on your journey is certainly welcome and will likely provide a different experience than going at it alone, which you can also do at any point.
That is what we know so far about Sons of the Forest’s max player amount. For more on the game, here is whether or not we can expect it to launch on PC Game Pass.
