Server comparison

Dedicated Sons Of The Forest server vs self-hosted and public servers

A dedicated server stays online independently from any player.

💻
PC-hosted
Works for short sessions only
✗Server goes dark when the host logs off
✗Host hardware limits performance during cannibal raids
✗Lag spikes when the group splits up across the map
✗No automated backups for your camp and progress
✗Host player has a connection and latency advantage
✗Manual game updates interrupt your co-op run
PC hosting works for short sessions, but quickly becomes frustrating for groups.

About Sons Of The Forest

Sons Of The Forest is a survival horror game developed and published by Endnight Games. The sequel to The Forest, it launched into Early Access in February 2023 and reached its 1.0 release in 2024, building on the original with a larger world and far smarter enemies.

The core loop centres on surviving a hostile island overrun by cannibal mutants. You gather resources, craft tools and weapons, build a shelter against the cold and the night, and explore eerie cave systems for story clues and gear. The companion character Kelvin and the recruitable Virginia add a unique twist to solo and co-op play.

Sons Of The Forest is built for co-op with up to eight players, and that is where it shines. On a private dedicated server, your group sets the difficulty and rules, and the world stays live around the clock so anyone can log in and keep building without waiting for a host.
