The Forest is a first person survival horror game by Endnight Games. You are the lone survivor of a plane crash on a peninsula ruled by a society of cannibalistic mutants. Build shelters and traps, explore the cave systems below, and hold your camp together solo or with up to eight players in co-op.

The Forest has dedicated server support, and a dedicated The Forest server keeps your base and world state persistent so your group can drop in at any time without waiting on a host. You control the difficulty, the building rules, and whether the world runs peaceful, normal, or hard.

Game Host Bros runs The Forest servers on AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processors with NVMe storage across 14 global server locations. Your server's gameplay is set from our panel: choose the difficulty, turn off enemies completely with Vegan Mode or keep them to night-time with Vegetarian Mode, and decide whether trees regrow and whether buildings can be destroyed. Set a password to keep it private, upload your own save, and use admin chat commands to kick, ban and save the game. Enterprise-grade DDoS protection keeps your server safe, and free server migrations are available if you are moving from another host.

The Forest is available on Steam for Windows and on PlayStation. Our dedicated servers run the Steam PC version.

Game Host Bros offers The Forest server hosting from $7.99/mo. Rent a dedicated The Forest server for up to eight player co-op with instant setup, automatic backups, and 14 global locations to choose from.

See you in The Forest.
