Game Pass continues to be one of the best deals in gaming, but only if it has good games. Being that Enshrouded is a good game, is it on Game Pass?
Is Enshrouded available on Xbox, PC, or Ultimate Game Pass?
At the time of writing this, Enshrouded is not available on Game Pass. Whether you have Xbox, PC, or Ultimate Game Pass, you won’t find Enshrouded available in that library.

My thought on why Enshrouded isn’t on Game Pass is that it’s a Steam exclusive right now. It can’t be because Enshrouded is in Early Access because Palworld is also in Early Access and it’s on Game Pass. I think it comes down to Keen Games only making Enshrouded work on PC via Steam for now.
Keen Games has made it clear that Enshrouded will come to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 in the future. In fact, you can play Enshrouded right now on PC via Steam with a controller and it works well. Whatever their reasoning, Enshrouded isn’t ready for consoles just yet but will be later in 2024.
To me, it would make a lot of sense for Keen Games to strike a deal with Microsoft to put Enshrouded on Game Pass. After seeing how similar survival crafting games do on Game Pass — Valheim, Grounded, and Palworld being just a few examples — Enshrouded would be a shoo-in on Game Pass.
My guess is that when Enshrouded becomes available on consoles, it’ll also come to Game Pass. But that’s just my guess (and my hope because I want a lot of people to experience this great game). There is no guarantee that Enshrouded will come to Game Pass since nothing has been confirmed or denied by Keen Games.
The best we can do for now is buy Enshrouded on Steam and support Keen Games. You can do that by discovering how to create a dedicated server to play with your friends regardless of co-op hosting.
