The new and version has improved visuals, with new monsters, and a new story to explore, and its early access will launch very soon on PC.
Sons of the Forest multiplayer mode
Much to the delight of fans, Sons of the Forest early access will indeed feature a multiplayer mode. The developers confirmed this on the game’s official Steam page. The early access overview revealed that it will allow up to eight players co-op in a single online session.
The Forest also featured the same amount of player, so it is pretty much neither a downgrade nor an improvement. Despite that, it is still good news that multiplayer mode is still available from day one of launching in early access format.
Crossplay and cross platform multiplayer
Sadly, for fans, there is no crossplay or cross platform multiplayer available on Sons of the Forest this time. This is obviously due to the fact that the early access launch is not coming to PS4, PS5, or Xbox.
The game could possibly join PlayStation and Xbox post-early access launch. However, the game developers haven’t confirmed anything right now. Unfortunately, however, even if Sons of the Forest does join consoles in the near future, crossplay still isn’t guaranteed.
This is because its prequel ‘The Forest’, also doesn’t have cross platform gameplay. Game developers Endnight Games released The Forest on consoles back in 2018. However, they never implemented the ability to play between different systems for that game too.
Early Access launch and price
The early access launch for Sons of the Forest has been confirmed as February 23 and is priced at $29.99. It is currently only available on PC via Steam.
