How co-op works
Up to eight online survivors can inhabit the same persistent, cross-platform sandbox. They form a party, divide scavenging, crafting, farming, and construction work, then reinforce a destructible voxel base and coordinate weapons, traps, and repairs against the recurring Blood Moon horde.
About this game
7 Days to Die throws players into a post-apocalyptic wasteland where every seven days brings a massive zombie horde. This open-world survival RPG blends first-person shooting, crafting, and tower defense as you scavenge, build, and fight to stay alive. You can tackle the challenge solo or team up with friends in true co-op multiplayer.

Players spend their days gathering resources, crafting weapons, and fortifying bases, then brace for brutal nighttime sieges when the undead become faster and more aggressive. The voxel-based building system lets you construct elaborate defenses or dig underground bunkers. Co-op groups divide roles between scavengers, builders, and defenders, making teamwork essential when the horde arrives.
Online co-op and LAN play support multiple survivors working together, with cross-platform multiplayer bringing PC players into the same servers. Sessions revolve around the seven-day cycle, creating tense preparation windows and chaotic last stands that reward communication and coordinated defense strategies.
