Want to host your own Enshrouded world without paying for monthly hosting? In this video, Eric from MMG shows you the easiest way to set up an Enshrouded Dedicated Server using the official Steam installer tool. This method is much simpler than the old SteamCMD process and perfect for players who want full control over their game settings. We cover everything from finding the tool in your Steam library to editing the JSON configuration file for server names and passwords. You will also learn a vital workaround that allows you to host the server and play the game using a single Steam account. Don't forget to check your firewall ports and support the channel by becoming a member for just $2! This guide is updated for 2026 to ensure you get your server up and running quickly so you and your friends can survive the shroud together.
