How to start a dedicated server for Project Zomboid




Ready to shamble into a new run, and a new Project Zomboid dedicated server? There’s nothing quite like the experience of trying to survive the hordes clawing at your doors with a few close friends.

Project Zomboid multiplayer - what you need to know

So, you want to play Project Zomboid multiplayer? The recently released build 41 of the indie zombie survival game overhauled multiplayer and made it easier than ever to try (and eventually fail) to survive the zombie apocalypse with your friends.


Whether it's local split-screen with up to four, or online with a veritable hoard of 126 players, you'll never have to die alone ever again if you don't want to. Joining a game is easy, but you can also host servers if you want; which like most games without a dedicated multiplayer backend, this will require some setup on your part first.


Note that if you're using the Steam client, you can only join other Steam-based servers. Assuming that's not an issue though, all you need to do to join a Project Zomboid multiplayer server is go to the main menu and click the 'Join' option. This will open a new window with a list of available servers. If you find one you like, don't forget to add it to your favourites lists so you can come back to it later.

Those wolf howls in the forest, for example, aren't signs of an incoming canine attack...
