Enshrouded Crossplay and Cross-Save: Can PC and PS5 Play Together?

What works today

Crossplay is still being developed

Keen’s October 13 launch FAQ explicitly says Enshrouded will not be cross-platform at launch. The studio says it is working on the feature but has no estimate for how long it will take. There is therefore no PC-to-PS5 lobby setting, server flag, or workaround that this guide can responsibly recommend.

Cross-save is a separate promise

Crossplay lets different platforms share a session. Cross-save moves or synchronizes character and world progress. One does not guarantee the other. Steam Cloud manages saves within the Steam ecosystem, while the reviewed launch FAQ does not publish a Steam-to-PS5 save-transfer process.

Do not copy PC save files into a console workflow or give account credentials to a third-party “transfer” service. Keep backups on the platform where the save was created and wait for a Keen support article that names both source and destination platforms.

Adventure Sharing is not cross-save

Keen’s Adventure Sharing terms say uploaded user content can be displayed and downloaded across platforms. The feature concerns community-created worlds and visits. The same terms explain that Visiting mode does not save earned experience, picked-up items, or achievements to the visitor’s profile. That makes it a creation-sharing route—not evidence that your normal character or live co-op session moves between platforms.

Plan a group without losing progress

1. Choose one currently released platform for the entire live co-op group.
2. Use the applicable limit: Steam lists up to 16 players; PS5 lists up to 8.
3. Choose a regular host or PC dedicated server before investing heavily in one shared world.
4. Back up PC world and character data before migrations or major patches.
5. Revisit the official FAQ after any patch that explicitly names cross-platform play or cross-save.

What would change this page

This answer changes only when Keen publishes a release note or support document enabling cross-platform sessions, specifies compatible platform pairs, or documents a cross-save account and transfer process. An Xbox launch by itself would not prove that all three platforms share sessions or progression.
