While playing this game, several players are looking to make a private lobby to play with their friends privately.

Check out our guide to find out if you can play a Private match or join a Private lobby.
Can You Play Private Matches in Mordhau? (Answered)
Unfortunately, you cannot play Private matches in Mordhau with your friends. As there are no in-game options for a dedicated Private server or lobby, you cannot play matches privately in the game. However, you can own or rent a Private server to play with your friends. You can also use the SteamCMD or WindowsGSM to create a private dedicated server.
If you own the Steam Copy, you can also create a server via Steam Tools. So, here’s how to create a private dedicated server for Mordhau via Steam Tools.
- Launch the Steam client and head to your Games Library.
- Under Home, select and toggle the Tools option. Refer to the above image.
- Navigate to the Mordhau Dedicated Server and press the install option.
- Once you have the server files, head to the directory where you installed it.
- As you head to the folder, create a shortcut of the MordhauServer.exe file.
- Then, right-click on that shortcut file and head to its Properties.
- Edit the Target under Target location. You must input a “-log” at the end of it.
- This is what the Target should look like:
- C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Mordhau Dedicated Server\MordhauServer.exe” -log
- Lastly, run the server before it generates configuration files for you to edit.
How to Play with Friends
You can also play Mordhau with your friends using another method. Instead of creating a dedicated server for private matches, you can join an empty server.

- Press the Shift + Tab shortcut button to launch your Steam overlay.
- Select your friend and select the Invite option.
- After they join your party, head over to the Server browser.
