Enshrouded developer Keen Games launched an in-game Adventure Sharing feature that lets players upload full playable versions of their crafted bases and worlds, featuring a browse-and-download system integrated into the main menu. Creators can showcase builds with a new craftable camera for in-menu screenshots and other players can subscribe to creators they like.
Players navigate a community gallery to preview and download shared adventures, bringing entire player-made towns, strongholds and lairs into their game client. The initial release focuses on sightseeing — downloads are visitable but do not yet allow progression — and the update also included gameplay changes like a revamped skill tree and new heavy attacks.
For consumers, Adventure Sharing turns building into a social content platform, lowering the barrier to experience ambitious player creations and accelerating community-driven discovery. Keen Games said future updates will add interactive logic, puzzles, enemy spawns and traps, positioning the feature as a foundation for player-made experiences.
