Grounded’s latest update makes it easy to trade worlds with friends in a backyard survival game. Now, in addition to the “standard worlds” available since the launch of Grounded in Game Preview, you can also create “shared worlds” that are stored in the cloud. These shared worlds are, unsurprisingly, available for your friends to access at any time, even when you’re offline.
Developer Obsidian says that you can have up to three shared worlds at a time and have up to 50 shared worlds with you at the same time. You can also turn your default worlds into shared worlds, and you can take any shared worlds that you own or have shared with you and save them locally as a standard world.
The idea is to make it easy to participate in the same world, even if you’re offline at the same time as the friends you’re playing with. To play in a shared world, you will be hosting it as a multiplayer game and only one person can control a given shared world at a time.
Any progress you make in the shared world will carry over to the next session, regardless of the game host.
However, there are other applications, Obsidian points out. With this new system, you will be able to share copies of your saved games with friends, as they will be able to download the worlds you share with them and convert them to locally stored standard worlds.
You’ll also be able to transfer your Grounded progress from Steam to Xbox and vice versa while playing in the shared world you use on both platforms.
Obsidian says the feature is currently in beta and progress may be lost on reboot as the developer fixes contextual bugs. In other words, the developers advise keeping a local backup copy if you’ve made a lot of progress and want to keep it.
If you just need to know how to make a beach axe, we’ve got that too.
