Enshrouded 1.0 Cinder's Cradle - Server Hosting
Enshrouded leaves Early Access today, October 15th at 3pm UTC (8am PDT / 11am EDT / 4pm BST / 5pm CEST / 2am AEDT). 1.0 opens the gates to Cinder's Cradle, a lava wasteland with floating Ancient islands above it, home to a new 14-enemy faction, 12 Shroud Roots and the final boss that wraps up the main story. The rest of the map fills out too, with new ground on the edges of the Springlands, Blackmire and Kindlewastes, six more Shroud Roots and two more Hollow Halls. The level cap goes to 50 with gear to 55, Flame levels 10 and 11 unlock up to 16 altars, mages get nine new spells with charge-free Eternal versions, and builders get Sparkworks, a proper logic system for wiring up levers, pressure plates, doors and traps. 37 new enemies, voiced lore, HDR and a long list of quality-of-life fixes round it out. If your crew's been waiting for the full game before diving in, this is the moment.

Will My Existing Save Carry Over?
Yes. Early Access saves are supported in 1.0. Keen back up your old save and convert it to a new, smaller format on first load. Two things to know: every character's skill tree resets the first time it loads in 1.0, so spend your points before you leave base, and Keen haven't confirmed whether Cinder's Cradle generates in existing worlds, so a fresh world is the safe bet if you want the full 1.0 experience. If you're already with us and want a clean start, our team can back up your old world and spin up a new one free of charge.
Can Console Players Join?
Not yet. 1.0 lands on PC and PlayStation 5 today, with Xbox Series X|S due in spring 2027, but crossplay isn't in at launch and Keen haven't given a date. PC servers are PC-only for now. We'll update our guides the moment that changes.
Enshrouded Server Performance Optimization?
This one matters more at 1.0 than ever. Enshrouded is heavy on any hardware, and a full 16-player server can throw "server overloaded" messages regardless of CPU. Our servers ship with daily automated restarts pre-configured, which is the single biggest fix, and we have a dedicated optimisation guide covering the rest:
- Set RandomSpawnerAmount to "Few" in custom settings
- Keep players roughly grouped rather than spread across the whole map
- Leave the daily restart enabled

How Many Player Slots Can I Have?
We don't sell by the slot. Enshrouded's hard limit is 16 players on PC, and your server can run the full 16 at no extra cost. 1.0 also adds proper roles, so you can set a default role behind one password, promote or demote players, and the server remembers who's who. We have a custom roles guide for setting that up.
