Doesn't it only go up to 4 players or something? What a weird limit for such a large game. I guess the devs just weren't skilled enough to raise it any higher.
You can play as a group/team of four, but the game can display up to 32 players in the same area simultaneously, which is quite more likely to happen during expeditions.
Using a fucking outdated wiki as your "evidence" while acting like bloody Sherlock Holmes?!? Could you be a bigger ass?
From the actual game website:
"Experience up to 32 player multiplayer when you summon the social hub, the Space Anomaly, from anywhere in the universe. Form a group, go on inter-galactic missions together or visit each other’s bases."
Why are you so upset? I just did a quick google search and that's what came up. Am I supposed to do actual research for a shitty game? No, I don't care that much.
Also, they aren't very clear about whether or not you can actually group up with 32 players, only summon them in a "social hub."
"Doesn't it only go up to 4 players or something?"
That was the max number of players who could play together for something like 3 update cycles, and that was years ago. Everyone was still technically in the same shared universe, you just couldn't actually co-op with more than that... but, again, that's outdated. Not sure what the limit is now, if there even is one - it's a more seamless and behind-the-scenes load-balancing deal now.
