If you’re curious about how you can play online with friends in Sons Of Forest, don’t worry, we got your back.
Sons Of The Forest is one of the most brutal survival and horror games, no matter how experienced you’re in gaming. You will bathe in a sweat if you’re going to play this. The game became so famous even though it is only in the early access stage that it sold more than 2 million copies in just 24 hours.
There’s so much more to come, Devs said. After the launch of early access, there’s no doubt that steam was temporarily down because too many users were trying to access the game simultaneously. There was too much graph in the down detector showing how steam goes down after the launch of The Forest’s sequel.
In case you don’t know, if you’re playing solo, you will have the help of two AI companions. The first one is Kelvin, and later in the game, you will find out Virginia. The AI of the game is much more improved, but still, there is a lot more to survive. Surviving on a remote island filled with cannibals and mutants is much harder than you think.
But you can also play with your friends in Sons Of The Forest. Here’s a guide on how to play online in Sons Of The Forest with your friends and family.
How To Play Sons Of The Forest Online
There are two available options in Online play. You can either select “Join” which is joining the available servers and “Host“, in which you can host the game to play with your friends. The multiplayer option can be found at the start screen of the game. To start a new server, select “Host” and then “New Game“.
This will bring up server customization including, the world name, the number of allowed players in the game, and if it’s a friends-only server. You can also make the server open for anyone so anyone looking for friends can play the game with you.

After pressing the start button, you will be sent to a default spawn point. Where you’ll be spawned once you die. The host is responsible for saving the progress in this game, so you gotta be very careful. Everything you do must be saved before proceeding to the next step or closing the server for some time.
Advantage Of Playing With Friends
