Enshrouded server setup and management guides

Set up an Enshrouded PS5 or PC dedicated server, invite friends, configure difficulty and role passwords, and manage backups. Includes PlayStation setup and PC world migration guides.

Enshrouded has dedicated servers for PC and PS5, and the two are separate. Rent one with Enshrouded server hosting, or run Keen's free PC server tool yourself. Either way, the dedicated server setup guide takes you from a new server to friends in your world.

Enshrouded 1.0 released on October 15, 2026. Early Access worlds convert to a new save format the first time 1.0 loads them, so back up before your server's first 1.0 start. See updating to 1.0 and Keen's 1.0 changelog.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Enshrouded server hosting cost?

berrybyte plans start at $9.95 a month before any discounts, with 8, 12 or 16 player slots. The PlayStation Store lists PS5 online play for up to 8 players. Setup help and automatic backups are included.

Does Enshrouded have crossplay between PS5 and PC?

No. PS5 and PC servers are separate at the 1.0 launch, and Keen has not announced a date for crossplay. Choose the platform your group plays on.

Do I need to keep my PC on for a dedicated server?

Not with a hosted server. It stays online on its own. A self-hosted server needs its PC switched on and connected while friends play.

What do PS5 players need to join?

The PS5 version of Enshrouded and PlayStation Plus for online play. Renting a server doesn't include either.
