Co-op title Roadside Research is now live on early access, and it’s an adventure best shared with your buddies.
While there’s a single-player mode that lets you enjoy the content alone, Roadside Research can be enjoyed in co-op up to four players. Whether you’re playing via the Xbox Game Pass or using Steam, inviting your friends is a simple task.

How to co-op in Roadside Research
For simplicity’s sake, I will assume that you’re hosting the game. Create a new save that you want to enjoy with your buddies. Single-player saves can’t be used when playing with other players. Once you load into a co-op save, press the Escape button. You can now invite your friends.
If you’re on Steam, you need to add your friends on the platform. The same rule applies to those playing via the Xbox Game Pass. If one of your friends is hosting a game, choose Join Friend. You’ll get the option to join them on a shared session (assuming they’re hosting a co-op save).
That’s how easy it is to play co-op with your friends. Make sure that the person hosting the game stays online for the session to remain active.
How many players can play together in Roadside Research
Roadside Research can be enjoyed by up to four players in the same lobby. Of course, having four players is not necessary. For co-op, having a single buddy is enough. However, the more the merrier, I suppose.
While there’s no matchmaking, you can use the official Discord to find other players looking to play together. Simply add them on Steam (or to your Xbox friends list) so that they can join your save.
