Rewind 99 Multiplayer: Co-op Status & Legacy Branch Setup

Rewind 99 co-op multiplayer

Rewind 99 supports online co-op for up to 4 players, but in the current Early Access build multiplayer is temporarily disabled while the developers fix performance instability. You can still play co-op today by switching to the Legacy branch on Steam.

Quick answer: switch to the Legacy branch (Steam library → right-click Rewind 99 → Properties → Betas → Legacy) to keep playing co-op on the previous version. Multiplayer returns to the main build once the developers trust it.

Co-op in Rewind 99: Up to 4 Players

Rewind 99 is built to be played solo or in up to 4-player online co-op — that is the official description straight from the Steam page. Sharing the shop means splitting the chores: stocking shelves, serving customers, and running the side hustles that keep the store alive against RentNet.

Why Multiplayer Is Disabled Right Now

The developers disabled multiplayer in the current build while they resolve performance instability. In their own words from the launch announcement: 'Multiplayer is disabled in this build while we resolve performance instability. A Legacy branch is available so you can keep playing co-op on the previous version.'

Bringing multiplayer back is the team's stated top priority, and they will share a timeline as soon as they trust it. Watch the official Steam announcements — and this page — for the restoration news.

How to Play Co-op Today: The Legacy Branch

  • Open your Steam library and right-click Rewind 99 → Properties.
  • Open the Betas tab and select the Legacy branch.
  • Let Steam update the game to the previous version with co-op enabled.
  • Launch and host or join a co-op session from the menu.
  • Follow the official Legacy instructions document published by the developers — the link is in the game's Steam announcements.

What About Saves and Progress?

The Legacy branch is the previous version of the game, so it may behave differently from the current build — including how saves carry over. As with any branch switch, keep a copy of your save folder before switching, and check the developers' instructions document for details.

Single-player progression in the main build keeps working normally while multiplayer is offline.
