Only one player can host a world at any given time, and any progress that's made in it will be available again the next time it's hosted, no matter who's doing the hosting. You'll not need to start a new world to access the Shared World feature, as the Save/Load menu offers you a way to turn it on if you're hosting a world, though, it will be classed as a multiplayer game and not single-player. Looking at the patch notes on the Grounded forums, you can only own up to three Shared Worlds at any given time, but you can have up to 50 shared with you, although we imagine you'd be hard-pressed to fill that quota. Obsidian even says that this feature works between each store's version of the game: Xbox, Microsoft, and Steam. It allows you to essentially share a copy of your save game with your pals, which they can download to their own game, but as a standard copy. Not only that, but craft and upgrade your armor and weapons to give your character the stats and advantages you need in order to take on the perils of the backyard.By using the Cloud for World Sharing, you and your friends will be able to share the same world, whether the original creator is there or not. Use the in-game customization systems such as Mutations and Milk Molars to activate the bonuses and perks you want for your character. However, the more you interfere with the creatures in the yard, the higher the chance that they come knocking at your own door, so you better prepare.

You can even attract them to different places in the yard by activating the MIX.R devices. Not only that, but with the Shared Worlds feature, you can continue to play in your shared world even if the original host is not on, with all your progression saving!Ĭreatures can be found roaming the yard in a multitude of environments, such as the depths of the pond, the caverns of the termite den, and even the sweltering heat found in the sandbox. You can face the backyard alone or together, online, with up to three friends. How did you wind up so small? Who did this to you? How do you go home? These are all answers you will uncover as you play through the story. Uncover the mysteries while playing through the story! Can you thrive alongside the hordes of giant insects, fighting to survive the perils of the backyard? Explore, build and survive together in this first-person, multiplayer, survival adventure. The world is a vast, beautiful, and dangerous place – especially when you have been shrunk to the size of an ant.
