Content Warning, the multiplayer horror game, has been questioned regarding its capacity to allow for more players. 

Although the game officially accommodates only four players, there are ways to expand your lobby and play with a larger group. Here’s how to play with more players in Content Warning.

Utilizing Content Warning More Players Mod

A widely favored option is the More Players Mod, which allows you to host a lobby with up to 128 players. Here’s how you can get the More Players mod:

  1. Head over to the Content Warning Modding community Discord server and navigate to the mod-releases channel.
  2. Download the DropIntoContentWarningFolder.zip file.
  3. Extract the contents of the zip file into the Content Warning game directory, typically located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Content Warning.
  4. Launch the game, and you’ll now be able to invite more than four players to your lobby.

It’s important to note that all players who wish to join your expanded lobby must have the More Players Mod installed on their own devices. This ensures a seamless and synchronized gameplay experience for everyone involved.

Utilizing the Virality Mod through Thunderstore

Another approach is to use the Virality mod, which you can access through the Thunderstore mod manager. Here’s how it works:

  1. Download the Thunderstore Mod Manager app.
  2. Open the app and select Content Warning as the game.
  3. Create a new profile and click the “Get Mods” button.
  4. Locate the Virality mod and download it.
  5. Click the “Modded” button at the top right to launch the game with the mod enabled.

The Virality mod, in combination with the Thunderstore Mod Manager, provides a straightforward way to expand your Content Warning lobby and enjoy the game with more than four players.

Important Considerations

It’s worth noting that the developers of Content Warning have temporarily blocked certain mods that enable larger groups in the game. This is due to an influx of players and increased server load. However, once the developers allow it, the mods mentioned above should work as intended.

FAQs

  • Can I play Content Warning with more than four players without using mods?
    • Unfortunately, the official version of Content Warning only supports up to four players in the lobby. To play with a larger group, you’ll need to utilize mods like the More Players Mod or the Virality mod.
