R.E.P.O. Public Lobbies Explained

Want to experience the excitement of REPO with strangers? Not yet possible!

Currently, REPO only supports multiplayer games through the Steam friend invitation system. The game does not yet support public matching, quick joining, or random teaming.

The good news is that developers plan to launch a matching system soon!

REPO's multiplayer mechanics

You can only play with players on the Steam friend list.

No public lobby – If you don’t have friends with the game, you need to find players through Discord, forums, or other social means.

Since REPO does not have a dedicated server, the host needs a stable network connection. If your host network connection is unstable, problems such as delays, disconnections, or a whole hall crash may occur.

How to play REPO online with others

If you have friends, here are the ways to invite them:

• Start REPO
• Select Create Game (because there is no "Join Random Player" button).
• Confirm warning information to understand the impact of network conditions on gaming experience.
• Create the game and enter the lobby.
• Click "Invite" to send your friends Steam invitation.
• Wait for them to accept the invitation and join (or they don't join, you can only play alone).

Once you enter the lobby, you can chat, change the character’s colors and prepare for the upcoming horror challenge.

Will REPO launch a matching system?

Developers say that if random lobbies are allowed, they will face the problem of cheating, but they are indeed working on developing and launching matching systems (i.e., open lobbies). You can learn more about future updates here.

Summarize

Currently, REPO only supports multiplayer between friends, which means you need to organize your own team instead of directly joining the lobby of strangers. If you want to experience the game with random players through a matching system, it won't work yet.
