Co-op, solo, and connection trouble

Trash Day Game Max Players — 1 to 6 Online

Trash Day is an online co-op video game for up to six players. One person can start alone. Couch split-screen is not a store category, and there is only one platform to cross.

How many players

The press kit says “1 to 6, online co-op”. The store description says online co-op for up to 6 players. Both were still saying that on 13 November 2026. That is the max. A mod to raise the cap is not an official feature, so this page does not explain one.

Solo

The store text says you technically can play solo, and that the wagon is a lot for one raccoon. Solo is allowed. It is not the balance target. A full solo video exists; its length is discussed on the game facts page.

Split-screen and cross-play

Steam categories include Online Co-op and do not include Shared/Split Screen. People-also-ask summaries say each player needs a copy and a device. That is two sources for “no local split-screen”. Cross-play does not apply: the only store platform is Windows on Steam, and the press kit does not announce another store.

When a lobby fails

Hotfix 14910 (14 October 2026) says a host connection that stalls should drop with “connection timed out” instead of a half-joined state, and a failed Steam lobby should warn you and still let you continue solo. Hotfix 14960 says late joiners can still earn a collection achievement after the loot is found, and a disconnect during a load should no longer stick the group on the next area. Those are the official fixes. Third-party “online fix” patches are outside this page.
