About
SOTF
Sons of the Forest (SOTF) is a survival horror game developed by Endnight Games where you crash-land on a remote island while searching for a missing billionaire. The island is filled with mutants, cannibals, and environmental hazards as you gather resources, build shelters, craft weapons, and try to uncover the story behind what happened. As the sequel to The Forest, it features improved building, AI companions like Kelvin, seasonal weather changes, and a narrative-driven experience alongside open-ended survival gameplay.
Renting a dedicated Sons of the Forest server lets your group explore the island together without requiring the host to be online. This is particularly useful for Sons of the Forest because survival progress, base building, and story progression carry over between sessions. A dedicated server also provides better performance than player-hosted co-op, especially with larger groups, and gives you control over difficulty, save management, and admin permissions.
Game Host Bros runs Sons of the Forest servers on AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processors with NVMe storage across 14 global locations. Choose a difficulty preset (Peaceful, Normal, Hard or Hard Survival) from our panel, or switch to Custom and tune enemy spawns, enemy health and damage, animal spawns, season and day length, tree regrowth and survival penalties in the server's settings file. Difficulty is set when a new world is created. Add admins so they can use in-game commands, keep several worlds by switching save slots, and upload your existing singleplayer or co-op save once it's converted to multiplayer (our guide shows how), or let us transfer it for free.
Sons of the Forest is available on Steam. Admins can use in-game commands for item spawning, stat buffs and player management. Save slots are managed through our panel, and creating a new world is as simple as changing the save slot number. There is no official mod support at this time, but full file access is available through the file manager.
Game Host Bros offers some of the best Sons of the Forest dedicated server hosting available, starting at $23.99/mo. Our SOTF server hosting includes instant setup, free save transfers, and 14 global locations. If you're looking for reliable server hosting for Sons of the Forest with full difficulty customization and admin controls, we've got you covered.
