Windrose, originally an MMO, has transitioned into a PvE experience ideal for co-op play with friends. The game allows players to customise ships, plunder treasure, and build settlements in a pirate adventure.
Windrose supports up to eight players in co-op on a single server. Players can team up with as few as one other person, but the server can accommodate up to seven friends.
Multiplayer options include local hosting, where the server is only online while the host is playing, or dedicated servers that run constantly using third-party tools. An official walkthrough on the Windrose website provides guidance for dedicated servers.
To join a local game, players select 'Connect to server' and enter the invite code provided by the friend hosting the game. This allows quick access to the world.
