What is Machine Party?
An industrial-horror party game where a small online group moves through a collection of violent minigames. This guide keeps changing feature status separate from confirmed launch facts.
Machine Party was released on Steam on July 30, 2026. The official game description identifies a 2–4 player format, while developer material confirms a launch collection of 15 minigames.
It supports online co-op on Windows and SteamOS/Linux. Some details are still moving: local couch co-op was in development when last checked, and the developer has said the base game will not provide in-game public matchmaking or a public lobby list.
