Overview
Of Peaks and Tides supports online co-op for up to four players. The entire game is playable solo, but the crafting, Base Building, and combat systems are designed to scale with multiple players, allowing coordinated strategies and shared construction projects.
Steam Store Listing
The Steam store page for Of Peaks and Tides (App ID 3757140) lists two multiplayer modes: Single-player and Online Co-op. Family Sharing is enabled on Steam, allowing household members to share the game.
Co-Op Features
Feature | Description |
|---|---|
Shared exploration | All players explore the same open world together. Discoveries and map progress are shared among the group. |
Coordinated combat | Enemy difficulty scales with player count. Players can set traps, flank enemies, and use environmental tactics cooperatively. |
Collaborative building | Multiple players can contribute to the same base simultaneously. One player gathers materials while others construct. |
Crafting division | Players can specialize in different crafting areas, producing complementary equipment and structures. |
Solo Play
The game is fully playable alone. Solo players have access to all the same systems and content. The difficulty is balanced for a single player, though certain encounters and building projects are easier with a group.
PvP
No player-versus-player combat mode has been announced as of the Gamescom 2025 demo. The current focus is entirely on cooperative and solo play.
Connection Details
Multiplayer sessions are online-only. Further details on matchmaking, hosting model, progression synchronization, and difficulty scaling have not been disclosed.
Party Scale
Steam multiplayer metadata for Of Peaks and Tides lists Online Co-Op alongside single-player. CyancookGames has framed co-op as a way to share Crafting, Base Building, and combat load. The exact party-size cap is still subject to the live build that ships at launch; expect a small group rather than a large persistent server.
Playtest Coverage
The Gamescom 2025 hands-on focused on solo play, so detailed co-op feedback was limited. CyancookGames' Offline Playtests 2026 are the first scheduled venue where co-op systems will be tested at scale outside the studio. Expect refinements to scaling, building permissions, and progression sync to be announced after those events run.
