No One Survived Server Hosting

No One Survived is a multiplayer open-world survival sandbox game developed and published by Cat Play Studio. Built on Unreal Engine 5.1, the game puts players in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies where survival depends on exploration, crafting, base building, and combat.

The game entered Steam Early Access on January 14, 2023 and reached its full 1.0 release on December 27, 2025 after nearly three years of active development. It is available on PC (Steam) for Windows at a base price of $16.99 USD, with over 200,000 to 500,000 estimated owners and support for 20 languages including English, German, French, Russian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Core Gameplay Features

• Open-world exploration: A large map with diverse points of interest including military bases, mining tunnels, sea ports, motel rest stops, and bandit camps.
• 400+ craftable items: Progression through skill trees in medicine, electrical chemistry, tailoring, metallurgy, civil engineering, and weapons manufacturing.
• Base building: Nearly 150 buildable structures using a unique beam-column load-bearing system that requires players to plan structural integrity for realistic construction.
• Water and electricity systems: Three types of power generation — generators, solar panels, and wind turbines — plus wells, pipes, and water purification.
• Four-season cycle: Dynamic weather and temperature changes across spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Resources vary by season and winter requires greenhouses for crop growing.
• Combat: Bows, machetes, sledgehammers, firearms with modification options, and a dismemberment system. Face standard zombies, special infected variants, and massive zombie horde "corpse tide" events.
• NPC interaction: Merchant NPCs for bartering and learning skills, hostile NPC camps, and recruitable companion characters.
• Vehicles: Multiple vehicle types with modification support for traversing the open world.
• Lumen lighting: Real-time dynamic lighting powered by Unreal Engine 5's Lumen system — indoor light changes when windows are opened or closed.

Dedicated server support was one of the most requested features during No One Survived's Early Access period. Before dedicated servers were added, players had to host games from their own PC — meaning the world only existed while the host was online. A dedicated server solves this completely.

Benefits of a Dedicated Server

• Always online: Your world stays up 24/7. Friends can join and continue building, crafting, and exploring even when you're not playing.
• Better performance: Dedicated hardware means no lag from the host's PC running the game and the server simultaneously.
• Full control: Configure every aspect of gameplay through Game.ini — zombie spawn counts, item rates, PvP or PvE mode, passwords, and server region.
• Persistent world: Your bases, inventories, and progression are saved and always accessible. No more losing progress because the host disconnected.
• Admin tools: Use the in-game admin console (Alt+Shift+O) to spawn items, change weather, and manage players on your server.

No One Survived supports both PvE and PvP gameplay modes, configurable through the Game.ini file. The community runs several types of servers depending on their playstyle.

PvE Co-op Servers (Most Popular)

The majority of No One Survived servers are cooperative PvE. Players team up to survive against zombies, build bases with the beam-column structural system, progress through technology trees, and manage water and electricity networks together. This is how the game was fundamentally designed and where the strongest community exists.

PvP Servers

Setting PVP to "True" in Game.ini enables player damage and base raiding. PvP adds tension but is less popular in No One Survived compared to games like Rust or DayZ — the single map and resource balance suit cooperative play better. PvP servers appeal to players who want the extra challenge of defending their base from other survivors as well as zombies.

Private Friend Group Servers

The most common setup: a small group of 2 to 10 friends on a password-protected server. Everyone can join anytime because the server stays online 24/7. This was the primary reason dedicated server support was requested so heavily during Early Access.

Community Servers

Larger groups run whitelisted or passworded servers with their own rules. Typically PvE with specific conduct guidelines, these servers build a persistent community around a shared world.

No One Survived has been in active development since January 2023, with Cat Play Studio consistently delivering updates based on community feedback throughout its nearly three-year Early Access period.
