Is Planter Coaster 2 multiplayer?

Yes, Planet Coaster 2 does have a multiplayer mode where you can work with your friends, co-op style, to build a theme park. However, the catch is that you cannot work on the park toget♌her at the same time.

How to play multiplayer in Planet Coaster 2 in Franchise Mode

Franchise Mode is where you can set up multiplayer in Planet Coaster 2, available in the main menu🍸. From here, you can change a few settings, like making the park invite-only. The park, or franchise as it will be called, will have a Franchise Code th▨at you can share with anyone you want to build the park with. 

Using this code, you can invite other players to your game or use a code given to you to join theirs. As stated, you can’t work in the park simultaneously as someone else, but you can leave notes and suggestions 🍎when building so that your friends know what you want the park to be like. Whether your invitees choose to follow these notes is up to them, though. When you come back to your park, these changes made by others will be saved, and you can explore them yourself.

Franchise Mode also lets you compete on leaderboards to become the best theme park or water park in the world, with various ways to get on top. This mode also includes a special feature that lets you visit other parks from a first-person point of view to check out what other players are🍌 doing right (or wrong).

While it’s not an active co-op multiplayer experience, Franchise Mode is a step toward letting Planet Coaster 2 fans play together in earnest.
