Is Enshrouded Cross-Platform? Crossplay on PC, PS5 and Xbox (2026)

No, Enshrouded isn't cross-platform yet. Version 1.0 came out on October 15, 2026 for PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5, but players on one platform can't join worlds on the other. Keen Games says it is working on crossplay and hasn't given a date.

Last checked October 25, 2026. We'll update this page when Keen announces crossplay.

Enshrouded crossplay at a glance

What "cross-platform" means for Enshrouded

"Cross-platform" can mean three different things, and the answer isn't the same for each:

• Enshrouded is on more than one platform: PC (Steam) and PS5, with Xbox to follow.
• It doesn't have crossplay, so players on different platforms can't share a world in 1.0.
• It doesn't have cross-progression either. Your character and saves stay on the platform you made them on, and Keen hasn't announced a way to move them.

Seeing "PC and PS5" on a store page only tells you where you can buy the game.

What Keen Games has said about crossplay

Keen's launch FAQ says Enshrouded "will not be cross-platform at launch." The studio has also said it is working on cross-platform play, with no estimate for when it will be ready.

Until then, PC and PS5 are two separate player bases. Progress doesn't move between them either: your Steam characters and worlds stay on Steam, and Keen hasn't confirmed any cross-save.

Can PS5 players join a PC dedicated server?

No. PS5 players can't connect to Steam-based Enshrouded servers, and that includes Host Havoc's, which run the PC version. A server you set up for a mixed group will only be open to the PC players in it.

What about Xbox, Steam Deck and GeForce Now?

The Xbox Series X|S version missed 1.0. Keen moved it to spring 2027, saying it needed more time to reach "the level of quality and performance we expect on Xbox." It hasn't said whether the Xbox version will launch with crossplay.

Steam Deck and GeForce Now both run the Steam copy you own, so those players are on the PC version. They can join PC worlds and PC dedicated servers like anyone else on Steam. Enshrouded 1.0 is also Steam Deck Verified.

Options for a group split between PC and PS5

Most groups pick one platform for the shared world, usually the one most of them already own. Others keep a PC world and a PS5 world going side by side and switch over when crossplay arrives.

If the group settles on PC, a dedicated server keeps the world online around the clock for up to 16 players, so nobody has to leave their own PC running. Our Enshrouded dedicated server setup guide covers doing it yourself, and you can also rent an Enshrouded server from us.

Frequently asked questions

Is Enshrouded crossplay between PC and PS5?

No. In version 1.0, PC and PS5 players can't play together.

Will Enshrouded get crossplay?

Keen Games says it is working on it but hasn't announced a date. Any specific date you see elsewhere is a guess until Keen confirms it.

Is there a crossplay setting on Enshrouded servers?

No. Keen's server documentation covers the server name, player slots, chat options and player groups, each with its own password and permissions. None of it is a crossplay option, so if a guide tells you to switch crossplay on, it's wrong.

Is Enshrouded on Xbox?

Not yet. The Xbox Series X|S version is planned for spring 2027.

Can I transfer my Enshrouded save from PC to PS5?

No. There's no official cross-save or cross-progression in 1.0.

Can I take my character to another server?

On PC, yes. Keen's FAQ says your character keeps its equipment, inventory, level and unlocked skills when you join another server. Most crafting recipes and rescued NPCs belong to the world, so you'll unlock those again in the new one.

How many players can play Enshrouded together?

Up to 16 on PC, and up to 8 online on PS5 with PlayStation Plus.
