More than 4 players (8 players) in Phasmophobia

[ReL0aDed]

This game is a blast to play with friends. It would be cool though if this game in the future could get support from more than 4 players. Maybe having a hard limit to 6 or 8 players?

Coop-games with support for more than 4 players is not the norm it seems.

Maybe having it so that player 5-8 are not able to buy items, or having a second truck with the items of player 5-8?

Not happening. Game is built from the ground up with the max of 4 players in mind.

Maybe if the game got official mod support, the community could potentially make a mod like this? I've read that there was a mod supporting more players before, but it was quite buggy & could potentially corrupt your savegame.

I saw an other game called Lethal Company got 8 player support through a mod.

Lethal Company is peer to peer; Meaning 1 player is actively hosting a small server for the other 7. Phasmophobia has everyone, lobby 'host' included, connecting to the Official Phasmophobia master server.

Reason this matters is that that bugginess and potential corrupt savegame you saw related to Phasmophobia can potentially affect EVERYONE due to everyone being on the same server. Case in point, Those modders back then crashed the whole server several times and corrupted a lot of save data from other players. Which is a huge part of why the devs have a hard "No Mods" stance now.

Mod support is also in the “never going to ever happen” category so tough luck.

Thanks for clarifying. This explains a lot.

You can do this right now, except players 5 through 8 have to go to a different house (though it possibly can look exactly the same). Unfortunately, it's so far away that the radios don't reach, so you can't talk to them either.

I can't really say, that i've run into the problem of needing more than 4 slots very often. There for sure were a few days, but getting all people of my friend circle together is probably harder than playing all Dark Souls titles without dying even a single time.

Not going to work:

Not enough equipment.

Will make play sessions too easy / too long

Maps not big enough for more than 4 players.

This idea pops up almost every week or so.

Devs said no.

Devs said no to mod support.

5 people would be ideal.

if people really wanted to play this game with less people, they would.
its happening now in custom matches. lol
