How co-op works
Online survival co-op for up to six players. The group pools gathered resources and divides farming, cooking, crafting, building, exploration, and defense, keeping everyone fed and protected through seasonal threats and boss encounters in a procedurally generated world.
About this game
Don't Starve Together is the standalone multiplayer expansion to Klei Entertainment's celebrated survival game. You and your group are dropped into a harsh, procedurally generated wilderness where starvation, insanity, and nightmarish creatures are constant threats. It plays as true co-op, letting up to six players work together to survive against the environment rather than compete.

Your team will scavenge for food, craft tools, build shelter, and manage each survivor's fragile mental state. Every season brings new hazards, from freezing winters to scorching summers, and death is permanent unless teammates revive you. Coordination matters because one player's mistake can doom the entire camp, making shared planning and resource management essential.
Don't Starve Together supports online co-op and LAN play across Windows, Mac, and Linux. Sessions can last hours or even days as you build sprawling bases, explore dangerous biomes, and face off against powerful bosses. The need to communicate constantly creates tense, memorable moments where teamwork is the only path to survival.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many players can survive together in Don't Starve Together?
Up to six players can join the same world and work together to survive. You can play online or over LAN on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
What happens when I die in co-op?
Death is permanent unless your teammates revive you. This makes coordination critical-one player's death can put the entire group at risk if you're not careful.
Is this a competitive survival game or true co-op?
It's true co-op. You work together against the environment, sharing resources and managing the camp as a team. While PvP exists as an option, the core experience is cooperative survival against hunger, seasons, and monsters.
Do we need to communicate a lot while playing?
Yes. Constant communication is essential because resource management, base planning, and survival decisions affect the entire group. One mistake can doom the camp, so coordinating who gathers what and when is key to lasting more than a few days.
How long does a typical session last?
Sessions can range from a few hours to multiple days as you build bases, explore the world, and try to survive through changing seasons. The procedurally generated worlds and permanent death mean each run feels different.
