In this contribution, we explore the question on the formation of multiple massive stellar systems via disk fragmentation with the help of the highest-resolution simulations to date of a fragmenting disk in the context of massive star formation. The simulations start from a collapsing cloud of 200 solar masses, followed by the formation of an accretion disk that develops spiral arms and fragments. Due to the high resolution of our grid, we are able to self-consistently form the fragments without the need for a subgrid module such as sink particles. We track the formed fragments into the first stages of companion formation, which allows us to give an estimate of the multiplicity of the final system due to disk fragmentation. We find in total around ∼6 fragments, some at orbits of ∼ 1000 au, and some close (possibly spectroscopic) companions.
