Unfortunately, the answer is no. However, that is because KSP2 is in early access, and has only recently launched as such. The early access launch was in February 2023, so it is still very early days for the game.

While Kerbal Space Program 2 is currently available on Steam and on the Epic Game Store, the current version is not the finished product. The developers have stated that they see early access as a foundation on which they can build. This will include many new features as time goes on.

According to developer Intercept Games, multiplayer is very much a planned feature for the future of KSP2. Of the new features they plan on implementing, interstellar travel, building colonies, and adding multiplayer are three of the most prominently mentioned in their updates.

While specifics are yet to be confirmed, creative director Nate Simpson, in an interview with PC Gamer said "It’s KSP2…but with more chaos, competition, or cooperation -- depending on your friends. Players should expect some hilarious and exciting moments as KSP2 will allow you to tackle challenges against or with other players."

Multiplayer is said to have players join or establish space agencies, and either work together or against each other. The launch site has been designed with four rocket sites and two runways, to allow for simultaneous launches and likely much chaos.
