Here is where Space Engineers 2 multiplayer actually stands, so you do not have to dig through roadmap posts:
The moment Keen ships dedicated server tooling, we will offer instant Space Engineers 2 server hosting, just like we do for the original Space Engineers. Join the notification list above and we will email you the day hosting goes live.
Space Engineers 2 launched in Early Access on January 27, 2025, without multiplayer support, and remains single-player as of mid-2026. Keen Software House's updated roadmap puts the first multiplayer milestone, 4-player co-op with player hosting, in the VS4 update targeted for late 2026, with larger-scale multiplayer and dedicated servers coming after that. SE2 is being rebuilt on the VRAGE3 engine with client-server separation for smoother, larger-scale gameplay.
The first multiplayer release (VS4) is planned as 4-player co-op with player hosting only. Dedicated server player counts have not been announced; Keen has said dedicated servers and larger-scale multiplayer come in later updates once co-op is solid. For comparison, the original Space Engineers supports up to 15 players in hosted games with full PvP and co-op survival modes.
Yes, modding support is planned for Space Engineers 2 but not available at Early Access launch. The game is powered by the new VRAGE3 engine and will include expanded modding capabilities. The original Space Engineers has extensive mod support through Steam Workshop, and SE2 is expected to continue this tradition with custom-built netcode enhancements for user-generated content.
Dedicated server requirements for Space Engineers 2 have not been officially announced yet. However, the game features next-generation graphics with ray tracing, global illumination, and real-time physics simulations, so servers will likely require robust hardware. Space Engineers 2 runs on the new VRAGE3 engine with improved performance optimization compared to the original game.
Space Engineers 2 introduces full water physics for landscape shaping, next-generation graphics with ray tracing and global illumination, and an improved VRAGE3 engine with real-time physics simulations. The Early Access version includes a refined Creative Mode, with Survival Mode coming in future updates. Future features may include Battle Royale-inspired game modes, expanded modding capabilities, and streamer integration.
