Its running my PC 24/7 that I want to avoid. That game Grounded has some way of sharing gameworlds doesn't it? Its an indie game that went from early access to full release, but they've been able to implement some kind of world share system without having to run your pc on 24/7.

I have no idea about some other games systems.
There are a lot of factors when it comes to sharing world data.
The biggest issue that comes to mind is what happens if two people decide to build in the same place? Unless they are logging in to some shared service of some kind there is a chance of things being destroyed if they overlap when the save data is put back together.

For all I know that other game devs are hosting worlds ... in that case the game is dead when the devs pull the plug in the future.

So just saying another game does it means nothing.

Well if it works, it means something, yes.

The Grounded system works like this - when you quit game to main menu you can select save file and then select Copy. Then you can select share with friends, and send it to whoever you want. It's not perfect but it does mean you can solo on a shared world and then update the others with what youve done.

I could share a save file with pc friends on Valheim but when this comes to Xbox it will need an in-game system to be able to copy and share updated worlds with friends on other platforms (actual platforms, not pc launcher platforms).

There is always a way with a little bit of will.
