7 Days to Die is the open-world zombie survival game where you scavenge, build, and fortify against the blood-moon horde every seventh night. In co-op, the base and the world are shared - you loot, craft, and brace for horde night as a team. But the world save lives with the host, so when they are offline your base is locked away.

How SaveSync Keeps the Run Alive

SaveSync syncs your 7 Days to Die save to every player. After each session the latest world is distributed automatically, and any player can load it and host. No one waits on a single person to survive the next horde.

Setting Up SaveSync for 7 Days to Die

Every player needs SaveSync installed from Steam.

  1. Click 7 Days to Die in the list on the left. You’ll see 7 Days to Die’s save management page.
  2. Click “+ New Save” in the top right.
  3. Select your world from the dialog.
  4. Click “Create Save”. The save starts syncing.
  5. Wait for the green checkmark.
  6. Click the share icon on your save.
  7. Search for your friend’s Steam username and click Share.
  8. Your friend clicks “Activate” on the shared save, which shows as shared by you. The world is ready, they can host it, and it syncs automatically after that.

SaveSync also keeps a full save history: who uploaded which save and when, with the option to revert to any earlier one.

Why SaveSync Beats the Alternatives

  • No manual transfers. Long survival runs build heavy saves - SaveSync moves them for you.
  • No lost fortifications. An old save undoes a session of building before horde night. SaveSync keeps everyone current.
  • No server bill. A group of friends does not need a paid dedicated server - whoever hosts the latest save covers it.

Playing regularly and weighing a rented server? See 7 Days to Die co-op without a dedicated server.

Want a Dedicated Server Instead? Try the ServerSync Beta

Some groups would rather nobody had to host at all. ServerSync is our second app, built for exactly that. It runs a 7 Days to Die dedicated server on a PC you already own:

  • No port forwarding and no config files. Pick 7 Days to Die, name the server, launch it.
  • Bring your current world. Start fresh or convert a local save you have already played, so nothing is lost moving to a server.
  • Free, with optional premium features. It is in beta now - ask for a key in ServerSync’s Discord.

Keep Surviving
