Your first check

The host can now kick a player. A kicked player cannot rejoin that same room; they can join again if the host creates a new room.

A room control with a defined consequence

The 15 October update gives the host a way to remove players from a multiplayer room. The consequence matters when arranging another session: the removed player cannot simply return to that same room. Do not interpret the feature as a permanent account-wide ban, because the developer describes a different outcome for a newly created room. This guide explains the published rule without claiming a menu path or button label we have not verified in the current interface.

Separate removal from an ordinary connection failure

If someone cannot get back in, first establish whether they were removed or disconnected. An invitation search, item-synchronisation stall and a kick restriction are different situations. Preserve the error message and ask the host which room is currently open. Trying the same invitation repeatedly cannot establish whether a room has changed. Before anyone creates a replacement room, follow the game's normal progress-saving process; this article does not claim that changing rooms transfers ownership or automatically saves every action.

Agree access before the next session

For a group that intends to play together again, decide who will host and which room everyone should join. Share the new room information through your own usual channel. If a removal was accidental, the source states that a new room allows joining again, but it does not describe an individual unkick switch for the original room. Keep that limitation clear when planning the next session. For ongoing problems, record the build, room change and exact message rather than reporting every unsuccessful return as a generic co-op bug.

Keep a useful comparison

Use this sheet while you check the problem. Tick a row when you have recorded an observation, even if its outcome is still unresolved. Downloading creates a local text snapshot; it does not save your game or send a report.

Questions before you retry

Is a kicked player banned forever?

The documented restriction applies to the same room; a new host-created room permits joining again.

Can a guest use the host kick feature?

The announcement assigns this feature to the host.

Does creating a room move the shop save to a friend?

That is not established by the kick feature. Keep ownership and room access separate.
