How to join a Dragonwilds dedicated server
Two things to have ready: the exact world name (or a join code, if your host gave you one) and the world password, if it set one. That's the whole flow.

Finding the world by name
In Dragonwilds, open Worlds → Public and search the world name your host gave you — exactly, including capitalization. It isn't a fuzzy search, so a typo or the wrong case just won't find it. This works the same on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2.
Joining with a code instead
Some dedicated servers publish a short invite code alongside the world name — on Wyrm Host, it's shown right on your world's dashboard. In-game, use Join → enter code instead of searching. One thing to know: the code changes every time the server restarts, so if it stops working, ask your host for the current one rather than reusing an old one.
The world password
If the host set a world password, you'll be asked for it after finding the world. You never need the host's Owner Id to join — that's only used to start the server in the first place, not to let players in.
Why Steam invites don't work
Sending a Steam invite doesn't connect a friend to a dedicated world the way it does for a player-hosted game — it currently doesn't behave as intended. Share the world name (or join code) and password directly instead of relying on an invite link.
Joining on console
The steps are identical to PC once you're in the Worlds menu, but each console has its own crossplay switch to check first. See the crossplay guide for the PS5, Xbox and Switch 2 settings.
Skip the setup — deploy a Dragonwilds world instead
Wyrm Host runs the machine, installs the dedicated server, and hands you a connect address, online in minutes with backups and auto-updates handled for you.
