Actually, the real fun begins when you have friends visit your island! So yeah, 8 players online, but one island per game. Makes you think twice about where to put that extra palm tree, right?
Just 1 player can own an island, but up to 8 can live and play online together. And don't forget, 4 can play together on the same screen if you're into that cozy couch gaming session.
4 players, if we're talking local. But who's got enough controllers for that, right?
It's 8 players online but honestly, having even 1 friend over makes the game twice as fun. Personal experience!
