Whats the player limit for Gang Beasts?
Doing a game night with some friends, is 8 the limit still?

They said they might make 12-players build for events (or even a 16-players one!) but a 12-players feature won't be added to the Steam version because it would kill performance; many people already have LAG because of the HUGE amount of colliders used by the Beasts and having 8 of them at the same time is quite a hard task for the game without lagging so hard, so adding 4 more of them might likely and up in frequent istances of LAG, maybe not so much Offline but more likely and frequently Online.

Anyway, yeah, 8 players max; more than 1 person can also play from the same PC Online, up to 7 I think (as playing with 8 would be dumb, you'd just use up a server where you could, instead, simply play Offline)

Note that with Xinput on the player limit is 4, due to Xinput only supporting up to 4 players, unfortunately the steam link doesnt support non-Xinput Input, so players with a steam link (Me) Can only play up to 4 players
