Oxide: Survival Island

An online survival game on a shared island

Oxide: Survival Island is an online survival simulator. You start on a shore with nothing and have to stay alive against the island and against other people. It suits players who want survival play in a world shared with others rather than a solo game.

Surviving cold, hunger, animals and enemies

The listing names four threats: cold, hunger, animals and enemies. It says the last three can kill quickly. Staying alive means keeping warmth and food up while watching for wildlife and hostile players.

Enemy bases are part of the same danger, and the listing presents them as places to visit and attack.

Gathering, crafting, building and defending

The core activity is a repeating loop the listing describes as gather, craft, build and defend. You collect materials, turn them into items and structures, and protect what you have built. Loot barrels around the map give supplies to search.

Builders, raiders and clans share the same servers, so the loop can go into making a base or attacking one. You can fight other players or cooperate with them.

Exploring a large, open island

The island includes woods, coastal areas, and stretches of ocean and shore you can travel along. The listing describes the map as large and open, with room to hide, scout and attack. The same openness gives enemies more places to ambush you.

Shared servers and saved progress

Each server is a shared world that keeps running after you leave. One server can host many players. Your progress is saved, so you can return to the same island later and continue where you stopped.

The listing also mentions playing on your own servers.
