Dear Passengers Multiplayer: Player Count, Co-op & Solo Play
Dear Passengers multiplayer is built around friends sharing one aircraft: someone flies while the rest of the group runs the cabin. Steam also lists single-player, but the maximum player count, local co-op, crossplay, matchmaking, and built-in voice details still need answers.
Online co-op Single-player Lobby limit unknown
Co-op is less about identical classes and more about covering the job your crew needs next.

One session, two pressure zones
Why the crew cannot all stare at the same problem
The cabin keeps moving even when the crew's plan does not.
01 · Cockpit
Keep the aircraft moving
The pilot deals with instruments, route decisions, weather, and turbulence. Clear warnings give the cabin time to secure people and objects.
Calls, warnings, handoffs
02 · Cabin
Keep everyone else moving
Cabin players serve travelers, protect freight, clear the aisle, and respond when the aircraft's movement creates a new problem.
The number everyone asks for?
Maximum crew size has not been published
Several colored crew avatars appear together in the trailer, but that does not tell us the final minimum or maximum lobby size.
A reveal trailer can combine shots, usernames, or extra characters for presentation. Until a player-count number appears in Steam's feature panel, a FLEXUS post, or a public lobby screen, the honest answer is still “not stated.”
Do not treat four visible colors as a guaranteed four-player cap.
Do not assume every role needs a separate player.
Do expect the cabin workload to reward a divided crew.

Solo is listed; co-op is the clearest part of the pitch
Online co-op
Split the aircraft into jobs
Friends can cover cockpit, service, cargo, and emergencies at the same time. That makes communication and handoffs part of the challenge.

One player, unanswered workload

Local play
Shared-screen, split-screen, and Remote Play Together are not listed on the current Steam page.
Cross-platform crews
Only Windows PC is announced, so there is no second platform to connect with yet.
