For those that have playedFar Cry 4,Journey to the Savage Planetmight feel strangely familiar. The game is largely comprised of the same components, complete with vibrant, seemingly endless landscapes, an engaging loot and craft system,and a story that is somewhat tongue-in-cheekto bring it all together. This wacky sci-fi adventure puts players in a brand new world as a member of the Pioneer Program.
While equipment and loot may be limited in some areas of the game, players with the right knowledge can summon a friend to help them out on their adventure. Getting a co-op game started inJourney to the Savage Planet, however, has been frustrating for some players.

Local Multiplayer?
To the dismay of some,Journey to the Savage Planetdoesn’t offer any options when it comes to local multiplayer.For the couch co-op types, this puts the experience at a disadvantage. It does not, however, rule out the chance at multiplayer for fans of the game. It just means both players that want to experience theJourney to the Savage Planetmust own their own copy of it.
To commence the co-op experience, Player A must select the Cooperative option from the game’s main menu upon hosting a game. This way, once the server loads up, all Player A will have to do is send Player B an invite to get them to join their game.
Save Data & Achievements
InJourney to the Savage Planet,whoever plans on hosting the game must also hold all of the information for it. This would include things like save data and progress. If Player A originally hosts a game, and then Player B tries to host it the next session, both players will find themselves beginning a new game.
Achievements, however, belong to both players. Just because Player B didn’t host the game does not mean that they won’t get to keep their achievements that were accomplished during the co-op session.
The Wanderer
It should be noted that in co-op games, players aren’t expected to stick together. Both players are free to wander around the planet andexplore this wondrous sci-fi worldhowever they desire. It does help for players to meet back up and compare notes, and therefore inform each other’s journey.
