Midnight Ghost Hunt is now available on Steam, and you can hop into a match with your friends at any time. You might be wondering just how many people you need to start a match, and how many is the max. Here's how many people can play Midnight Ghost Hunt together, including the minimum and maximum number of players you can have in one match.
How Many People Can Play Midnight Ghost Hunt?
You'll need at least one player to play Midnight Ghost Hunt - yes, you can play the game solo if you own it. You can fill out your lobby with bots or with other online players, meaning that you won't need a single other player on your friends list to join you in order to participate in a match.
Midnight Ghost Hunt is definitely a lot more fun with friends, though, so you might be wondering about just how many people you can fit into a room if you're playing with people you know. The maximum number of people that can play one Midnight Ghost Hunt game together is 8.
You can't have more than 8 players in a Midnight Ghost Hunt because the game is designed to be 4v4 - 4 Hunters vs 4 Ghosts. Any more or fewer players on either side would cause the game to become unbalanced. Much like Dead by Daylight, Midnight Ghost Hunt relies on careful balance between both sides of gameplay to create a fun experience for players.
While you can't play the game with more than 8 players, you can play with any number below that by just adding in enough bots or online players to fill up the lobby. So, if you're feeling inclined to hop into a match with a just a few friends but don't want to or can't pull together a group of eight, you're still good to go.
