ROB RUN Servers and Playing With Friends

What servers does ROB RUN have?

Two regions, official servers only:

Region	New server daily at
EU	17:00 UTC
East US	20:00 ET

At least one fresh server opens every day in each region. When a region fills up, more servers open automatically, including outside the scheduled times. There are no private, solo or PvE servers, and no server browser in the main menu.

More regions are planned. Players in Oceania and South America have the worst ping today, and US West players also play on the East US servers.

How do you play with friends?

1. Agree on a server and region first. Progress is tied to the server, not the account.
2. Meet at a fresh opening. EU 17:00 UTC or East US 20:00 ET is the easiest shared start.
3. Party up. A party holds up to three players, and a party of two starts at Notoriety level 2.
4. Join a clan for bigger groups. Clans hold up to 100 members per server.

If your friend is already on a server you cannot join, one of you has to move. Moving means surrendering to the feds at the prison and losing everything on the current server — so move before you build, not after.

How do you switch server or region?

1. Go to the prison and surrender to the feds. This clears your progress on the current server.
2. Open the menu, go to the last tab, Other.
3. Set Region to EU or North America (East US).
4. Pick a server from the list.

Because the wipe is seven days per server, the cheapest moment to switch is right after a wipe. A server on day 6 is worth nothing; a server on day 1 gives you a full cycle.

How many players are on a server?

Kefir does not publish exact capacity. In practice Looty Bay holds about 20 players at a time and a settlement about 10. Cop slots are limited to four per city.

What about parties and voice chat?

Parties hold three players. Voice chat is in game; if nobody can hear you, check the Windows microphone permission and the in-game audio settings — in some regions only a VPN helps, which is a network issue rather than a game setting.

Do servers have maintenance?

Yes, usually 15 minutes to an hour. Maintenance is announced in the official Discord and the Steam forum rather than the Steam news, and it is not a wipe. Bank and sell before a maintenance window: a server that goes down mid-run can still cost you gear you have not stored.

Which server should you pick?

Situation	Pick
Starting fresh with a plan	A server that opened today
Playing with a friend in the US	East US, at 20:00 ET
Playing with a friend in Europe	EU, at 17:00 UTC
Late in a cycle, no plot	Any fresh server; do not build on a dying one

The wipe timer converts any server’s opening date into a countdown, and wipe strategy explains what to do with the days you have left.

Cross-play and platforms

ROB RUN is Windows-only through Steam. There is no Mac, Linux or Steam Deck support (Easy Anti-Cheat blocks Proton), no console version and no cross-play with anything else. An APK sold as ROB RUN is not official. See system requirements and platforms.
