Absolum co-op guide

How a session starts

Steam’s tags list shared and split-screen co-op, online co-op, and cross-platform multiplayer. The wiki describes the online door as the altar by the campfire, with create-game, matchmaking, and a room or invite code. Local co-op is the second player joining at the fire. I do not invent the exact button labels on that altar, because the write-ups do not agree on the prompt text.

Worlds Collide is the wiki’s name for keeping each player’s story progress and merging it only for the session. Leaving an online run drops that run’s progress. A solo run can be left under the Save Anytime behavior described on the saves page. Revive is a partner interaction, and the revived player comes back hurt.

Connection-lost reports cluster on scene changes and on particular friends. Community posts suggest restarting, using a fresh code, and avoiding a high-ping host. Those are player reports, marked as one community cluster, not a studio patch note. Four-player play is not a shipped mode.

Mobile co-op uses online rooms

The mobile edition supports two online players, with no same-device local co-op. Complete the tutorial, then use the online totem at Uchawi’s Hearth. Matchmaking finds a random partner; Join accepts a host code; Create generates the code to share. Android and iOS can join each other and Google Play Games PC, while Steam and consoles use a separate pool.
