How co-op works
Up to eight online players join a host world and can bring their own flying island bases. They sail, build, gather, automate production, fight fungal corruption, and restore island ecosystems, forming a mobile settlement while dividing navigation, resource, and combat work.
About this game
Aloft drops you onto a world of floating islands where survival means turning entire landmasses into flying ships. This is a co-op sandbox survival game built around exploration, crafting, and ecosystem restoration. Instead of competing, players work together to cure a fungal corruption spreading across the skies and rediscover lost knowledge hidden in the clouds.

You will gather resources, build and customize your island-turned-skyship, and sail through dangerous storms. The game combines freeform base building with survival loops, letting you shape your floating home while navigating the hurricane and restoring the world piece by piece. Cooperation makes resource gathering faster and lets you tackle bigger construction projects and tougher environmental hazards as a team.
Online co-op lets you and your friends share the same sky journey, sailing and building on the same vessel. Sessions tend to be long and project-focused, with plenty of communication needed to manage construction, navigation, and resource chains. It is a slower, creative survival experience that rewards patience and planning over quick rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play solo or is co-op required?
Yes, Aloft supports both single-player and co-op modes. You can explore, build, and cure the corruption entirely on your own if you prefer, or invite friends to join your skyship journey.
Is this more about combat or building and exploration?
Aloft leans heavily into building, exploration, and ecosystem restoration. You'll spend most of your time gathering resources, customizing your floating island into a skyship, and navigating environmental hazards like storms. It's a slower, creative survival experience rather than a combat-focused one.
Is the game finished or still in early access?
Aloft is currently in early access as of its January 2025 release. Expect ongoing development, potential bugs, and feature additions as the developers continue building out the game.
