R.E.P.O. (short for Retrieve, Extract and Profit Operation) is an online cooperative friendslop survival‑horror game developed and published by Swedish studio Semiwork, released in early access on February 26, 2025 for Windows PC. The game is designed around multiplayer cooperation, allowing up to six players to team up online and work together to locate, transport, and extract valuable objects from dangerous, monster‑filled environments.
In a typical session, players coordinate with friends to carefully handle physics‑based items—such as fragile ceramics or heavy equipment—because damage reduces their in‑game value. Teams must communicate and plan their movements, using proximity voice chat to coordinate stealth and strategy while avoiding hostile creatures.
Multiplayer in R.E.P.O. currently relies on direct invitations through Steam friends lists, meaning players generally organize private groups with people they know rather than joining public lobbies with strangers.
R.E.P.O. Core Features
- Online Co‑op for Up to Six Players: Team up with friends in the same session to complete extraction missions.
- Private Multiplayer via Friends List: Players invite friends through Steam rather than using public matchmaking (as of now).
- Proximity Voice Chat: In‑game voice communication changes with distance, supporting coordination and tension within the team.
- Physics‑Based Item Handling: Objects have realistic physics, requiring teamwork to carry and extract them successfully.
- Coordinated Extraction Strategy: Players must work together to move valuable items while managing risk from environmental hazards and monsters.
- Procedurally Generated Levels: Randomized environments offer varied layouts and challenges during cooperative runs.
- Shared Risk and Reward: Teams decide how much loot to pursue, balancing potential profit against the danger of handling objects and enemy encounters.
- Progressive Upgrades: Successfully extracted items earn in‑game currency that players can use together to unlock upgrades between runs.
- Can be modded: Players have to install BepInEx patcher in order to play with mods. Mods vary from new custom-made levels to new items, weapons, and monsters. Mods work in multiplayer too!
