Co-op · Early Access 4 Dec 2026

Dirt Town multiplayer

Dirt Town multiplayer is online co-op for up to four players. It arrives with the Early Access release on Steam on December 4, 2026; the free demo is single-player. Everyone works the same site together — pushing, digging and hauling the same simulated dirt — and the game has towing chains built for co-op. This page collects what Skyturns has confirmed and flags what is still unknown.

What Dirt Town co-op includes

Up to four players. The Steam page lists online co-op and "multiplayer for up to four players".
One shared site. Friends play online on the same site, and Dirt Town's terrain is one simulation, so the dirt you move is the dirt they drive over.
Towing chains. Skyturns lists chains for towing as a co-op feature, so one machine can tow another.
On-foot play. Players can get out of the cab and climb over both terrain and machines.
Shared jobs. Early Access is a sandbox where you earn money from missions and harvested resources and buy better machines. Side jobs include building a dirt-bike track and racing it with friends.

Is the Dirt Town demo multiplayer?

No. The Dirt Town Demo's Steam page lists it as single-player only. If you want to try co-op, you will need the Early Access game from December 4, 2026. The Dirt Town demo guide explains what the demo does include.

How do you play Dirt Town with friends?

Skyturns has not yet published step-by-step instructions for hosting or joining a session, and we will not guess at menus that may change before launch. What is confirmed:

Multiplayer is online, so every player needs an internet connection.
Dirt Town is a Steam game on Windows and macOS. There is no console version, so there is no Xbox or PlayStation crossplay to worry about — see Dirt Town on Xbox, PS5 and mobile.
The game supports Steam Family Sharing, which lets family members on the same Steam family play from a shared library. Check Steam's own Family Sharing rules for how it works with multiplayer.

We will add the exact steps for inviting friends after the December 4 release.

What each player needs

Every player in a Dirt Town session needs a computer that can run the game on its own — co-op does not lower the requirements:

Windows 10 64-bit with a 6-core AVX2 CPU, 16 GB of RAM and a DirectX 12 card such as an RTX 3060 or RX 6600, or
macOS 14 on an Apple M2 Pro or better (Intel Macs are not supported)
about 500 MB of free disk space
an internet connection for online play

A gamepad is optional; the game lists partial controller support, and steering wheels and joysticks are supported for driving.

Which machines can you use in co-op?

Early Access launches with a wheel loader, a hauler, a dozer and an excavator, plus bonus vehicles such as dirt bikes. More machines are bought with money earned from missions and resources. Attachments use a real hooking system, you can drill into rocks to hook them, and heavy machines crush trees and brush.

Dirt Town co-op: what to expect from Early Access

The game is in Early Access; its price will rise as content is added, and Skyturns says it does not know yet how long Early Access will last. The developer also notes that performance is still being optimised. In practice that means co-op is part of the launch build, but expect it to change with updates. Snow is the first planned addition, followed by forestry, more road building, mining, racing and mudding.
