Quick answer
The host is the keeper of the save. To continue the same journey, the same host should start the session first, then friends join through the friend list or join code.
Official FAQ confirms host-owned saves, crossplay, join codes, and password advice. Platform-specific menu wording still needs hands-on checks.
Checklist
- Pick a reliable host before the first session.
- If continuing an old session, have the original host start first.
- Use a password when sharing a join code outside a private voice chat.
- Do not show the join code or password on stream.
- If a friend cannot see the session, try the join code before changing platform settings.
- If the host leaves, expect the other players to disconnect and plan a restart window.
Do not do this
- Do not promise random matchmaking when the official FAQ says the game is made for organized groups.
- Do not guess platform menu labels without checking that platform.
- Do not tell players a new host can continue the old save unless the host-transfer behavior is verified.
