Is playing in a lobby of 4 not enough for you and your friends in Lethal Company? Then, here is how to play with more than 4 people in a lobby

Lethal Company is a trending indie horror co-op survival game developed by Zeekeerss. It was released on 24 October 2023 and is currently in early access. The game is set in a dystopian and retrofuturistic post-apocalyptic world. In the game, players are hired by a corporate organization named the “Company” to explore various industrialized and abandoned moons in search of scraps for sale. These moons are inhabited by various monsters whom players have to kill or escape from to collect the scraps to meet the profit quota every 3 days. 

Currently, the game can be played solo or with up to 4 players in a lobby. Despite 4 being the standard number of players in a multiplayer co-op game lobby, it comes as no surprise that players want more space in the lobby. Unfortunately, the game does not have this feature yet but fans of the game took it into their own hands and created mods for the game to play with more friends. Hence, here is how to play with more than 4 people in Lethal Company.
