With a launch scheduled for not too long away, you might be wondering if Dead Island 2 has dedicated servers.
Dead Island 2 is a game with co-op features and a dedicated multiplayer. With the ability to join your friends and play online, it’s possible that gamers would want to use dedicated servers just for them and their fellow Islanders.
However, Dead Island 2’s co-op likely works on an invite-basis, meaning that you simply have to ping a message to a friend with an invite to get onto the same level as them. There are servers upheld by the game developers in place, however at the time of writing, it seems as though there are no dedicated servers.
Could Dead Island 2 get dedicated servers in the future?
Similar to what we saw with the state of potential Sons of the Forest dedicated servers, there’s no reason to have them. Dedicated servers would suit a game sandbox game such as Sons of the Forest where progress is saved over the course of time. However, Dead Island 2’s gameplay is vastly different to this.
There’s no reason for the game to have dedicated servers, but could it eventually get them in the future? Maybe. It’s a likely update, although there’s been no official word from Dambusters about the possibility of this being a future update focus. So we’ll just have to wait and see where Dambusters fall on this one.
We’ll be keeping an eye on this so make sure to watch this space to stay up to date with all the gaming news and updates you could need.
