How to Host a Conan Exiles Server on PS4

Welcome Dev! If you’re a fan of Conan Exiles and want to create your own server to play with friends, you’re in the right place. In this article, we will guide you step-by-step on how to host a Conan Exiles server on your PS4. It may seem daunting at first, but with a little patience and determination, you’ll have your very own server up and running in no time!

Requirements

Before we dive into the process of setting up a Conan Exiles server on PS4, let’s go over the requirements.

1. A PlayStation 4 console
2. A copy of Conan Exiles on PS4
3. A stable internet connection
4. A separate PS4 account to act as the server host

Make sure you have all of these requirements before proceeding.

Step 1: Creating a Separate PS4 Account

The first step in hosting a Conan Exiles server on PS4 is creating a separate account that will act as the server host. This account will be dedicated solely to running the server, so it’s best to create a new one instead of using your personal account.

To create a new account, follow these steps:

1. Go to your PS4’s settings.
2. Scroll down and select “Add User”.
3. Select “Create User”.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to create your new account.

Once your new account is created, log in to it on your PS4.

Step 2: Setting up Port Forwarding

The next step is setting up port forwarding on your router. This will allow outside players to connect to your server by forwarding incoming traffic on specific ports to your PS4.

To set up port forwarding, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your router’s administration panel.
2. Find the “Port Forwarding” section.
3. Add a new rule for port 7777 (TCP/UDP).
4. In the “IP Address” field, enter the IP address of your PS4 (you can find this in your PS4’s network settings).
5. Save your changes and exit the router’s administration panel.

Make sure to save your changes and exit the router’s administration panel. Port forwarding is now set up and ready for use.

Step 3: Installing the Server Software

The next step is installing the server software on your PS4. You can download the software directly from the PlayStation Store.

To install the server software, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your new account on your PS4.
2. Go to the PlayStation Store.
3. Search for “Conan Exiles Server”.
4. Download and install the server software.

Once the software is installed, you’re ready to move on to the next step.

Step 4: Configuring the Server Settings

Now that the server software is installed, it’s time to configure the server settings. This is where you can customize your server to your liking.

To configure the server settings, follow these steps:

1. Open the server software on your PS4.
2. Choose “Settings” from the main menu.
3. Customize the settings to your liking.

Make sure to save your changes before exiting the settings menu.

3. Your server is now live and ready for players to join!

Remember to keep your PS4 turned on and connected to the internet in order to keep the server running.
