Green Hell is best known for its unforgiving solo survival experience, but it also offers a fully playable multiplayer mode designed around cooperation rather than narrative progression. Here's everything you need to know about its multiplayer gameplay.
How multiplayer works in Green Hell
Multiplayer in Green Hell is structured as a cooperative survival sandbox. You and up to three other players are dropped into the Amazon rainforest with minimal equipment, tasked with staying alive by managing hunger, hydration, injuries, sanity, and environmental threats.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Mode type | Online co-op |
| Max players | 4 |
| Story content | Not included |
| Save system | Shared world save |
| Difficulty | Same mechanics as solo |
| Play style | Cooperative survival |
Unlike the single-player campaign, multiplayer does not follow the story-driven narrative with cutscenes and scripted progression. Instead, it focuses entirely on emergent survival - building shelters, crafting tools, hunting, and exploring together.
Platforms and availability
Green Hell’s multiplayer mode is available on:
- PC (Steam)
- PlayStation consoles
- Xbox consoles
Cross-platform play is not supported, meaning all players must be on the same platform to join a session.
What you can do together in co-op
Co-op play preserves nearly all survival systems from the solo experience, which means coordination matters:
- Divide tasks such as scouting, hunting, and base building.
- Treat each other’s injuries and infections.
- Share crafted gear, food, and water.
- Explore dangerous regions with backup rather than alone.
Because death can still be permanent depending on settings, teamwork often determines whether a session thrives or collapses.

Green Hell’s multiplayer mode is not a story replacement but a cooperative survival sandbox built for shared endurance. If you want to face the rainforest together, it delivers exactly that.
