Split the car, not a private server
Backseat Rally 2 Player and Co-op
One of you drives. The other calls. You can swap after the stage. You cannot buy a private server for the two of you.
The Games API sets max players to 8 and createVipServersAllowed to false.
Last checked 2026-10-25. Figures below are sourced. Anything not remeasured in the live game is labelled that way.
Invite into your car
- Join the same server. If they are not in it, use the Invite friends tile and the + first.
- Driver opens the garage with C, picks a car, then CO-DRIVER → INVITE.
- Choose the player and Spawn + invite.
- They accept the invite card and should see a co-driver notice.
Other ways to share a car
| Method | Who is co-driver | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| INVITE | The friend you picked | Pending invites still look like the AI |
| LEAVE SEAT OPEN | Whoever sits down | A stranger in an 8-player server can take it |
| Press E | You, on someone else's car | You need to be near their car |
| Hosted race (V) | Each crew still has its own car | 2–6 racers, class and collision options |
Voice
Human calls need voice chat and the sound on. A voice volume of 0 looks like a broken co-driver. Cross-play invite details for Xbox, PlayStation, and mobile are not documented by the developer, so this page does not promise every platform can invite every other.
Watch a run
VendoPlus shows the invite flow, the V race prompt, and crates. Upload date on YouTube: 2026-10-17T18:29:01-07:00.
FAQ
Can we play in a private server?
No. The Games API disables VIP servers for this experience. Use a public server of up to 8 players.
The seat still says RALLY BOT.
An unanswered invite leaves the AI in the panel. Have your friend accept the card, then look for the co-driver notice.
