How Many People Can Play Lethal Company? Max Players and Mods

Lethal Company officially supports up to 4 players in online co-op. You can also play solo, as a duo or as a trio. To go past 4, every player needs the same unofficial lobby mod, most often MoreCompany, which the developer does not support.

Lethal Company is a co-op indie survival horror game. Players explore the dark labyrinths of research facilities located on various moons. But that’s not all – they then need to successfully bring the loot back to the ship while encountering and fighting various monsters with both firearms and melee weapons. It’s a fun game to play with friends, but many gamers wonder how many people can play Lethal Company together at once and what to do if your team exceeds the limits. Well, you’ll find answers to these questions in the article below.

Lethal Company Max Players Limit For Co-op Games

So, how many people can play Lethal Company? The official limit is 4 players per lobby. The Steam page says the game “is playable with up to 4 players,” and that has not changed in any update, including v80 in April 2026. You can also play with two or three people, or even solo, but the game is built around a full crew of four.

How To Play Lethal Company With More People

The only way to get more than 4 people into one ship is with a mod. Mods are made by fans, not by the developer, Zeekerss. The most popular lobby mod is MoreCompany. It has over 27 million downloads on Thunderstore and is updated for recent game versions.

How To Install MoreCompany

MoreCompany needs BepInExPack, a mod loader that lets the game run mods. The simplest way to set up both is with a mod manager.

1. Install a mod manager such as Thunderstore Mod Manager and choose Lethal Company.
2. Create a profile and search for MoreCompany. Install it. The manager adds BepInExPack for you.
3. Launch the game from the mod manager, not from Steam.
4. Share your profile code with your friends so everyone has the exact same mods. Every player needs MoreCompany to join.
5. Host a lobby and set your player count. MoreCompany defaults to 32 players and allows up to 50.

Tip: The mod’s author says an 8-player lobby ran with no issues in testing. Bigger lobbies work, but some other UI mods may not handle more than 8 players correctly.

Is It Safe To Use Lethal Company Mods?

MoreCompany and BepInExPack are widely used and come from Thunderstore, the main mod site for Lethal Company. Still, they are unofficial. Since v80, the game shows other players when a host is running a mod loader, and the developer says this does not mean mods are supported. After a big game update, mods can stop working until their authors update them. If the game crashes after a patch, disable your mods and wait for a mod update.

Final Thoughts

Lethal Company is at its best with a full crew of four, and that is the official limit for this co-op survival horror game. If your group is bigger, MoreCompany is the easiest way to fit everyone on one ship. I have played with a group of 7 friends, and it was chaotic in the best way. Just make sure everyone runs the same mods, and expect to update them after each game patch.
