We have just deployed a small but important update focused entirely on multiplayer co-op 🤝
The old access code system has been fully removed and replaced with a Steam friend invitation system, making it much easier and more reliable to create and join co-op sessions 🚀
🧭 What has changed
- ❌ There is no longer any access code to join a multiplayer session.
- 🎮 The host must first create a multiplayer game.
- 🔓 Sessions can now be configured as:
- Public: anyone can join.
- Friends Only: only the host’s Steam friends can join.
- Invite Only: only players explicitly invited by the host can join.
- 📨 Once the game is running, the host can invite friends:
- Directly from the Multiplayer menu in-game.
- Via the Steam Overlay, using the standard Steam friend invitation system.
- ➡️ A player can join a session in-game or via the Steam Overlay, provided that:
- The session is Public, or
- The session is Friends Only and the host is a Steam friend, or
- The session is Invite Only and the player has received an invitation from the host.
This new system removes a major limitation of the previous code-based approach.
Previously, some players were unable to join a session even with the correct code due to Steam download region constraints.
With Steam friend invitations, these restrictions no longer apply, and joining a friend’s game should now work reliably in all cases.
