Servers and regions
ROB RUN runs on official servers only. Each server is its own world with its own map, plots, clans and seven-day clock.
- Regions
- EU and East US [1]
- New EU server
- Daily at 5 PM UTC [1]
- New East US server
- Daily at 8 PM ET [1]
- Players per server
- Advertised as 5,000 [2]
- Community servers
- None at launch [3]
Regions
At launch Kefir announced two regions, EU and East US, and said more would be added “when we can”. [1] As of our last check there has been no official announcement of a new region. Players are asking for Asia and Oceania in the Steam discussions.
When new servers open
Kefir plans at least one fresh server per day in each region: EU at 5 PM UTC and East US at 8 PM ET. Extra servers open automatically when needed, including outside those times. [1]
Two details follow from that wording. East US is anchored to New York time, so in UTC it is 01:00 in winter and 00:00 in summer. And extra servers keep their own clock, so a schedule-based countdown is wrong for them. The home page shows the next scheduled opening in your time zone.
Fresh servers play differently
When a server has just opened, patrol cops only have pistols, and better police gear unlocks as the server ages. [1] A fan site reports that a patch on 5 November 2026 shortened this pistol-only period to 30 minutes; Kefir has not published those notes on Steam. [4]
Joining a friend on another server
- Open the global map and select the Prison location.
- Choose “Surrender to Feds”.
- Inside the prison, switch to your friend's server.
- Send the party invite again.
These are Kefir's own steps. [5] A party holds up to three people; larger groups use clans. [6]
How full is a server?
Nobody outside Kefir can tell you. The store page advertises 5,000 players around you, [2] but there is no public server list, and Steam only reports one player count for the whole game.
