## Key points

- Prey Coop adds unofficial multiplayer to Prey.
- Up to 16 players can share its campaign.
- The alpha mod requires setup and may contain bugs.

## Summary

A fan-made mod called Prey Coop now allows Arkane Studios’ 2017 sci-fi game Prey to be played cooperatively. It matters because immersive simulations are usually single-player games, and the mod adds shared exploration and problem-solving to the game’s campaign without an official multiplayer release.

Created by modder null234, the alpha-version mod supports up to 16 players and synchronises campaign progress, story decisions, enemies, inventories, doors, hazards and physics. The full campaign is reportedly playable on new or existing saves, though users may encounter visual issues, animation quirks and bugs. Players need Chairloader, port forwarding, matching mod DLL versions and legitimate copies of Prey.
