Quick answer: Sessions support 2–12 players. The host separately chooses a 2-player, 3-player, or 4+ version of the world, which configures challenges rather than capping attendance.

Pick the minimum, not the maximum
Official advice frames the world setting as the minimum number expected to participate. If attendance may fall, select a lower setting so the remaining group can continue.
No official ideal size
The official FAQ does not recommend one ideal count. Smaller groups are more focused; groups nearer twelve are more chaotic.
