Extraction games live and die on their lobbies. Public servers feel chaotic and uneven. Self-hosting is technically possible and practically a pain. Most friend groups want something in between: a server that's theirs, with their rules and their squad, up when they are and quiet when they're not.
Star Rupture dedicated server hosting is now available on Supercraft, launched alongside the game's early-access debut.
Why private Star Rupture servers matter
Star Rupture is a great game to play with a specific group of people — a fireteam, a guild, a gaming discord. Public lobbies can't give you that. Your friend logs in, the matchmaking hands them four strangers, and the night ends before it begins.
A dedicated private server keeps your squad together. Same rules every night, same pacing, same people. That's the experience most people wanted from this kind of game and have rarely been able to get.
What you get with Supercraft
- Invite-only access. No randoms. No griefers. Just your crew.
- Persistent character and loot progression across sessions.
- Configurable rules — difficulty, friendly fire, wipe schedules — from a clean panel interface.
- Regional routing so you pick the node closest to most of your squad.
- Fast restarts when early-access patches ship, so you're never stuck on a broken build.
- Automatic backups for the nights that go sideways in fun ways.
- A shareable public server page for your crew or clan.
Running a server in early access
Star Rupture is in active early access. Builds land fast; occasionally they land broken. We track upstream releases closely so you can choose when to adopt the latest build — not have it forced on you the moment it ships.
If a patch is rough, you can hold on the previous build for a night, a weekend, or a week while the dust settles. That kind of control is a quiet luxury in early-access multiplayer and one of the reasons dedicated hosting pays for itself quickly.
Built for the way friend groups actually play
Most Supercraft customers aren't running one game forever. A single Supercraft plan lets you switch games — Star Rupture this month, Valheim for a fantasy weekend, Palworld when a new content drop lands. Your subscription stays the same while your play rotation evolves.
It's especially useful for clans and recurring squads that don't want to maintain multiple rentals for their multiple interests.
How to launch your Star Rupture server
- Head to the Star Rupture hosting page.
- Pick a plan with enough slots for your squad (and a few extras for guests).
- Launch. Your server is ready in a couple of minutes.
- Invite your squad with the server URL. They sign in, they drop in, you play.
