While it can always be satisfying to carve out a piece of paradise on your own, having trusty allies along for the ride can be even more enjoyable, especiallly in a survival game. After all, with a committed team, even the hardest of tasks can become easy, and more people pulling their weight makes it easier to progress deeper into the game.

Knowing exactly how to make that happen is therefore important, and Enshrouded gives players the options to do just that. If you are unsure of just how to get multiplayer going with friends in the game, be sure to check out the rest of this guide to get the key details.

If you are looking to play together with friends, then the latter two options are where you will need to go.

Hosting a Game in Enshrouded

Upon selecting the Host option, this will start up a world ripe for conquering that will be public with a total capacity of up to 16 players, including yourself. By default, anyone will be able to join your game as long as they can find it. If you want things to be a little more exclusive, a password can be set so that only those in the know can join your world.

For those who are not accustomed to hosting but want to join a friend's session, simply choose the Join option when starting the game. This will display a list of public servers and allow you to search for a specific server as well.

You can also filter the game to only show sessions hosted by friends to make things easier. With the right passwords in hand, you should be able to jump in without a fuss and start building your base alongside like-minded partners.
