Enshrouded Launch FAQ: Early Access reward, world
October 13, 2026
Greetings Flameborn!
The finish line is in sight for us and there's a rush of activity from new and returning players, so we've put together this little FAQ for you!
A picture is worth a thousand words, so here's one thousand words:
We have a trailer dropping tomorrow, and then the highlights video dropping on the day of release!
A lot. We will publish the full changelog tomorrow, a whole day in advance of the release! We've also made a whole playlist of videos of new and improved things, so check it out here!
You do not need to buy Enshrouded PC again if you own the Early Access version.
You can absolutely use Early Access saves once the game releases in 1.0. Our save format is improving, so saves will be converted to a new, more efficient format. However, note that we have made many improvements to the world and first few hours of the game, so if you're up for it, we strongly encourage you to start over!
Enshrouded will not be cross-platform at launch, but we know many of your friendships have survived years of console wars. We are working on bringing cross-platform play to Enshrouded, but have no current estimate on how much time it will take us.
We don't generally like FOMO, which is why all our Twitch drops can be found in-game. Having said that, we felt like our Early Access players deserved a little something for betting on Enshrouded. There are three decorative props for your base that are exclusive to our Early Access players, redeemable from the "Redeem Add-Ons" button in the escape menu! If you get the game after the Early Access, you can ask an OG player to drop by your world and place it for you. You'll be able to remove it, just not place it down yourself. They can claim the items multiple times so there's no reason not to share! It even looks a little bit like a black metal album cover if you place a few down...
Check out what they look like!
Here's a statue which for reference is over 4 meters high and will look great in your base:
Here's a tome with the might "E" that was our Early Access logo for over two years:
And finally, here's the signal you turn on when you need a hero...
(note that due to vfx transparency, the in-game look is slightly different.)
The release is so close, we can almost feel it... See you tomorrow for the trailer and changelog!

I bought Enshrouded on PC in Early Access. Do I need to buy the game again for 1.0?
You do not need to buy Enshrouded PC again if you own the Early Access version.
Can I use my old saves from Early Access after release?
You can absolutely use Early Access saves once the game releases in 1.0. Our save format is improving, so saves will be converted to a new, more efficient format. However, note that we have made many improvements to the world and first few hours of the game, so if you're up for it, we strongly encourage you to start over!
Will the game let me play with my friends on other platforms / will the game be cross-platforms?
Enshrouded will not be cross-platform at launch, but we know many of your friendships have survived years of console wars. We are working on bringing cross-platform play to Enshrouded, but have no current estimate on how much time it will take us.
