How co-op works
Up to eight players share a self-hosted or dedicated PvE world, although four is recommended for late-game performance. The crew completes the current Early Access story while gathering, building, crafting, sailing, exchanging cannon fire, boarding ships, exploring dungeons, and coordinating soulslite boss fights.
