He confirmed that while Fort Hope runs on the host’s connection, the game allocates a dedicated server once you hit matchmaking. However, as the run actually starts, ping is normalised for everyone, so I asked O’Driscoll to clarify what actually happens there. When I played the Back 4 Blood beta with friends across the world, I noticed high ping when I was invited to their Fort Hope - the game’s hub area – and the game even displays a warning icon up when ping goes above 150ms. You’ll need to be invited by a friend who owns it. However, if you do not own the DLC, you won’t be able to search for games running that content in the hopes you’d land into one. This is big news, and often rare for co-op games. This means that zombie numbers and powers won’t be adjusted per platform, so those players won’t have to put up with any gameplay inconsistencies.Ī few weeks ago, Turtle Rock confirmed that players who own Back 4 Blood DLC can invite non-owners to play it with them. Matt O’Driscoll clarified that while you can expect a lower framerate target on last-gen consoles, the game code running underneath is the same across all platforms. Last-gen is still the same game, so PS4 and Xbox One aren’t at a disadvantage. In Back 4 Blood, everyone can play together, regardless of platform. This is one I was especially curious about, as many games treat the Windows Store Game Pass version as its own platform, and do not allow for co-op with Steam.

I caught up with lead producer Matt O’Driscoll to try and get some answers.
Some of those are our own, and others the community online has been wondering about. So with the open beta now underway, we thought we’d ask Turtle Rock Studios a few of the most common questions. It elevates the game from a simple, good co-op shooter you enjoy playing, to one you’re going to be thinking about when you’re not playing. I was particularly impressed with the depth the deck building system brings to Back 4 Blood. That record has already been broken by the open beta, live now. We’re not alone in this, either, as nearly 100,000 players logged in to play at the same time on Steam at its peak.
Last week’s Back 4 Blood closed beta has been a big hit among my group of friends. Back 4 Blood is looking really strong, so we wanted to know more.
