Shift At Midnight Multiplayer
VerifiedPlatform PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, PC (Microsoft Store)Last checked
Shift At Midnight supports online co-op. The game was designed around up to three players, while a July 23 Steam update lets a Steam lobby creator choose a maximum as high as six. The developer warns that larger groups can be chaotic and are not recommended for a first playthrough. Xbox currently lists online co-op for two to three players.

Before inviting players
- Confirm that everyone belongs to a compatible pool in the crossplay guide.
- Use three players or fewer for the intended balance and a first Story run.
- Treat the Steam six-player selector as a platform-specific update, not a universal console limit.
- If session creation fails, use the evidence-safe troubleshooting checklist.
The beginner guide explains the shared station and customer-check loop without assigning invented co-op roles.
