About the game

What is a The Forest server?

The Forest is a co-op survival horror game. After a plane crash, you and up to seven friends build shelters, craft weapons and explore a peninsula full of caves while cannibal tribes watch from the trees. A dedicated server for The Forest keeps that shared world running 24/7, so your group can drop in whenever they want instead of waiting for the host's PC to come online.

With your own The Forest server, you decide how the forest plays. You set the server name, the join and admin passwords, a difficulty from Peaceful to Hard, Vegan or Vegetarian mode, tree regrowth and building destruction. You also control save slots and the auto-save interval, and you choose the data center closest to your friends so every session feels smooth.
