If you're on the Xbox S, unfortunately the hardware only supports 2 at the moment. If you have a friend that has an X, you can have them host and they can host up to 4

I’m also having the same problem we wanted to do 4 player co-op but it’s set at a max of 2 players

My friend and I are also having this same problem, it won’t let us even click the arrow option to get more than 2 max players. We even uninstalled the game and reset our consoles..
the real question is, is why do we have to buy a series x just to be able to host a world with 4 people? why can't series s have that? i get the optimization but that's our fault for trying to host 4 on a bad xbox but c'mon. got no friends on xbox series x and we cant do anything else

Because the Series X is only just barely capable of running the game after heavy optimization, and the Series S has literally a third of the processing power of the X.
And the digs at console begin. It should be communicated like Baldurs gate 3 local coop restrictions that told you up front you would not get 4 player but 2.
It's a fair complaint
I used to love this game

Kinda bull that you can only have a max of 2 people yet long ago you used to be allowed to have more people, way to ruin the fun of the game by stonewalling multiplayer with friends

It is planned to be increased. Console hardware is a major limiting factor to the features available on the consoles.
Keep up to date on the news, and you will be informed.

Why has the info that series S is limited to 2 players max not been added to the details page before purchase?
At this point it's either lazy or intentional fales advertising.
Once again a valid complaint followed by a attack on console players. You are making money from us trash systems how about treating us with a little respect, or don't put your game on our system if it can't play as advertised

Fist add a warning on Xbox purchase page that series S can only have 2 players max today.
Second please find new forum moderators for the console section. When Clare left in 2017 it was left to PC elite who only bash the system. Yes we have not as good hardware, however you chose to sell it on our junk systems. You are making money from us, yet every valid complaint is met with your system is trash and you get what you deserve.
I did not deserve MD5 whipping my base in old version over and over till I gave up. Xbox series S players don't deserve to be attacked for their model not being able to play 4 players when they have no warning.
With storage crates now deleting all loot there will be even more angry posts and at this pace you are burning through the good will console players have.
This game is fun but bugs then attacks on Valid complaints is going to harm this community and in turn your reviews and future sales.
I may sound like a rat bag and get banned but it needs to be said.

Where do you see an attack please? The 2 player limit is objectively because of hardware limits. What else could it be?
Saying it's hardware fault for why it can't have more than 2 players. Nothing in product description page says if you have a series S you only get two player not four.
Saying keep up to date on news to be informed puts it on the series S player to have to do their own product research before buying it.
When looking to buy a game most read features listed, look at screen shots or reviews. They do not go to forums and read posts that have info that should be listed under features.
All it takes is put a * next to 4 player count then at bottom say 2 player max for series S, instead it's "you should have done additional research before buying it"
When you go buy a car they all have a info page tapped to back window with features the car you are looking at has. Legally they can't say AC if the AC is only in better models and not in the junk model you are looking at. If you purchased the car and got mad it has no AC went to talk with the dealership who sold it and they said you should have read the true features on some random web page at best its a complaint to BBB at worst it's a law suit.

PC or Console?
Certain consoles have a 2 player cap due to hardware and others have a 4 player cap. Once crossplay is enabled in a few months, you'll be able to join servers and those can have more players.
For PC, it all depends on your game settings when you load a game (from 1-8 players).
