Icarus Server Hosting

Yes. Stop the server, open Files and upload the prospect's .json file, unchanged, into Icarus/Saved/PlayerData/DedicatedServer/Prospects. Never rename or edit the file: RocketWerkz warns that a changed name or changed contents corrupt the save. Then start the server, join, and load the prospect in the Server Lobby. Single-player prospects are on your PC under AppData\Local\Icarus\Saved\PlayerData, in the folder named after your Steam ID, then Prospects.

Yes. Icarus allows cooperative multiplayer for up to 8 players per session. You can work together to complete objectives and survive the environment.

Yes. Icarus servers are set up instantly. In the panel you set the server name, join password, admin password and automatic updates; prospects and missions are chosen in game.

No. A PlayNHost Icarus server is the dedicated server for the PC version of Icarus on Steam, and console players cannot join it. Icarus has a separate console release, ICARUS: Console Edition. According to its Xbox Store page it offers online co-op for 2 to 4 players and no cross-play. We therefore do not offer an Icarus server for any console, including Xbox One and PS4. If your group plays Icarus on Steam on PC, you are in the right place. Checked October 2026.

Yes, on your own PC. The game's Steam page says dedicated servers are free to run and recommended for Open World sessions, and the server files install through SteamCMD without an Icarus license. The PC then has to stay on while your group plays. You forward the game port 17777 and the query port 27015 on your router, set the join and admin passwords yourself (they are not set by default) and update the server by hand with SteamCMD. A rented Icarus server at PlayNHost costs from US$10.49 a month for 4 players or US$13.99 for 8, runs around the clock without your PC and installs game updates automatically.

Yes. Prospects run on the server as they do in the game, time limits included. Which prospect to play is chosen in game, not in the panel.

We do not list mod support for Icarus today. Full SFTP file access is included, and the game's own documentation explains what it allows.

Your first order is covered by our 72-hour money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, open a ticket in the panel within 72 hours of ordering.

Icarus plans start at US$10.49 (€9.49) a month with 4 GB RAM and 4 player slots, up to US$13.99 (€12.49) with 8 GB RAM and 8 player slots. That is the regular monthly price, before any first-month discount, and every plan includes DDoS protection, SFTP and 24/7 support.
