So you need to pay money for those? Any idea how much/often?

The one my brother-in-law and I are on is 35 GBP (British pounds) for 3 months.

around 10-15$ an month. iF u have a spare PC, u can do it for free. i use an old 2017 laptop.

A modern PC should be sufficient to both host and client the game. I have a prefab desktop from 2017 and I could host 5 clients no probs.

If you have a spare PC lying about you can use that (friend of mine set one up our first play through). If you rent one all you do is connect, they take care of the set-up, at least my provider did. If you set up your own box there are instructions online. Probably best to run the sever on a PC other than the one you are playing on if you hope to host a few friends.

Yes, Check the Server Box before starting a game. (For friends to Join) Or check Community Server for anyone to join. (Not recommended you will get griefers)
