PlayingSchedule 1by yourself is an enjoyable, albeit stressful, time on occasion. You’ve got several bases of operation, numerous strains of weed to harvest, and dozens of clients to keep track of. What better way to alleviate some of your in-game responsibilities than to have friends join you?

While you can playSchedule 1by yourself, the real fun comes from having your friends help you run a successful drug-dealing business and hearing their woes as they run away from the in-game police. But there are limits to how many people you can play with.

How many friends can you play Schedule 1 with?

You can playSchedule 1with up to three other people for a total offour players in one lobby. You can invite them through the game’s main menu before starting a new save or joining a pre-existing one. While you can play with fewer people, four is the maximumSchedule 1will support. Similarly, if one person joins and another wants to take their place, you can invite them to the game later, as long as the total number of people online doesn’t exceed four at once.

Can you increase Schedule 1’s max player limit?

Technically, yes, you may increase the total player limit beyond four. But this requires downloading mods such asMultiplayerPlusthrough NexusMods, much like you would with other games of a similar nature. Like many otherSchedule 1mods, you’ll needMelonLoaderbefore downloading the increased multiplayer limit mod. Aside from this, it’s a relatively simple installation.

Beyond modding the game, there’s no other way to raise the game’s max player limit unless the developer, TVGS, ups it throughout its early-access period and beyond. Only time will tell if that’ll happen.
