Don’t Starve Adds Multiplayer Mouths To Feed This Summer
Klei Entertainment’s Don’t Starve is a solitary experience about surviving in an inhospitable land. This summer, that all changes. A new update will allow you to forage, craft, and live through the night with up to three friends.
Don’t Starve is getting a multiplayer mode, which marks a reversal for Klei. Players have been piecing together a puzzle (seen below in its final comic form) leading to the big reveal.

The studio explains that it wasn’t sure when development started how well the game would do, or if the recent Reign of the Giants expansion would ever happen.
However, thanks to the success of the title on PC and PS4, Klei has the resources and manpower to make it work. The Don’t Starve Together multiplayer expansion will come to Steam and the standalone PC version. There is no guarantee at this time if it will make its way to PS4.
Single player will not be affected, but if you choose to play with others, you’ll have some choices. You can either have private games or take your chances with strangers.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
