Nomad Drive Server Hosting
Access to our custom Game Server Management Panel
The in-house Survival Servers game control panel allows you to configure and customize your Nomad Drive game server. Name your server and your trip, choose whether it is listed in the game's Join list or code-only, lock it with a password, kick or ban a player, switch locations, restore a save, and change any setting with our easy one click form. Survival Servers is a Nomad Drive dedicated game server provider with our custom panel.
Watch the Nomad Drive Trailer
Nomad Drive is a post-apocalyptic road-trip survival game from Indie Devil. You repair a rundown RV and turn it into a home on wheels, then drive a procedurally generated wasteland solo or with up to four players in online co-op, scavenging parts, cooking, fishing and staying alive as long as the road lets you.

How to Set Up a Nomad Drive Server
With SurvivalServers
Running your Nomad Drive multiplayer server is easy!
- Click Order Now above

- Friends open Nomad Drive, choose Join, and find your server by name or type the code

Without SurvivalServers
Nomad Drive ships with 1-4 player online co-op, but the trip lives on one player's PC and only exists while that player has the game open. Indie Devil has not announced a dedicated server. We run the game itself on our hardware around the clock, listed in the game's own Join list, so the world is always there and nobody in your group has to host.
What you would need to host it yourself
- A Windows PC with Nomad Drive installed that stays on whenever anyone wants to play
- The player who hosts must be in the game for the trip to exist - if they quit, everyone is out
- Around 4 GB of disk for the game files, plus room for saves
- No port forwarding: the game connects friends through Epic's online service, the same way a hosted server does
What our panel gives you instead
- Server name, shown in the game's Join list
- A 5-character join code, and a switch to make the server code-only
- Player seats (up to 4, the game's own cap)
- World name and seed - a new name starts a new trip, the old one stays on disk
- Automatic saves every 5 minutes and on every stop, plus panel backups and restore
- Server password lock, kick and ban
Why Wait? Use SurvivalServers Instead
- We handle the game install, the server software and every update
- DDoS protection included at all 8 global locations
- 24/7 server uptime - your friends can play even when you're offline
- World settings and save backups managed from the panel
- Order in one click and play within minutes

Frequently Asked Questions about Nomad Drive Server Hosting
Nomad Drive ships with 1-4 player online co-op, but the trip lives on one player's PC and only exists while that player has the game open. We run the game itself on our hardware around the clock, so the world is always there. Your server shows up in Nomad Drive's own Join list under its name, and anyone can also type its 5-character join code under Join by Code.
Up to 4, which is Nomad Drive's own co-op cap. The game's Join list shows one more (x/5) because it counts the server itself as a member of the session. Nobody has to play host: the whole group connects to the hosted trip and can drop in or out anytime.
Each friend needs their own copy of Nomad Drive from Steam. They open the game, choose Join, and pick your server from the list by name, or choose Join by Code and type the code from your panel. If you set a Lock Password in the panel, the game asks for it once. No launcher, no mod and no port forwarding.
No. Players use the plain Nomad Drive game from Steam. The hosting side runs on our servers; nothing changes on your PC.
Not as of this page. Nomad Drive's co-op is player-hosted through Epic's online service. Our servers create the session and hold it open, so the trip no longer depends on one player's PC being on.
Today our servers run the free Nomad Drive demo from Steam, the same build you play, so anyone with the demo can join; Steam keeps everyone on the current build. Nomad Drive enters Early Access on Windows in October 2026, and when the full game arrives your server moves to it. A trip saved on the demo may not carry over into the release build, so treat demo progress as a test drive.
Yes. Your trip is stored on our infrastructure, not on any player's PC. The server saves it every 5 minutes and every time it stops, the panel keeps backups you can restore, and you can download the save over FTP or move between datacenters without losing progress.
Yes to both. Set a Lock Password in the panel and Nomad Drive asks each joining player for it. Switch the server to code-only and it disappears from the game's Join list, so only people with your join code can get in.
Seattle, Los Angeles, Dallas, New York, Miami, Germany, France, and Singapore - all DDoS-protected. Pick the location closest to your friend group.
Yes. Switch datacenter on demand from the panel and cancel any time with no commitment.
