Survive Petrichor V Together
Risk of Rain 2 is a frantic, 3D roguelike shooter where survival depends on quick reflexes and insane item synergies. As you loop through stages, the difficulty scales infinitely. When you stack dozens of Ukuleles, AtG Missiles, and Will-o'-the-wisps, the game engine has to calculate massive chains of damage and physics in milliseconds.
Playing on a standard peer-to-peer (P2P) connection means one player's PC is burdened with hosting the game AND rendering the chaos. If their PC lags, everyone lags. If they crash, the 3-hour run is dead. A dedicated server offloads all the heavy lifting to enterprise hardware, ensuring buttery-smooth gameplay for the entire lobby, no matter how chaotic the screen gets.
"God Run" Stability
When you trigger a chain reaction that hits 100+ enemies simultaneously, our high clock-speed CPUs process the math instantly without dropping server ticks.
Break the 4-Player Limit
Want to play with 8 or 16 friends? Dedicated servers paired with simple mods (like TooManyFriends) allow massive, chaotic lobbies.

Risk of Rain 2 Hosting FAQ
Got questions about running your own dedicated Petrichor V server? We've got answers.

Yes, crossplay is fully supported. You can enable Epic Games and Steam crossplay seamlessly via the server configuration settings in your control panel.
