Oxide: Survival Island

Open-world survival with crafting, PvE threats, and team play

Catsbit Games strands you on a harsh, deserted island and asks a simple question: how long can you stay alive? Oxide: Survival Island blends resource gathering, crafting, and shelter building into an unforgiving loop set in a large open world you can explore at your own pace. Wander too far without a plan, though, and the island quickly reminds you that survival is earned, not given.

Every outing demands careful preparation. You will scavenge wood, stone, and other essentials to assemble tools and weapons, then fortify a shelter to make it through the night. Threats come from all directions: aggressive wildlife, hostile NPCs roaming the map, and other players who may attack and steal your hard-won gear. That constant pressure turns even routine trips for materials into tense, strategic runs where timing and route selection matter.

Multiplayer is more than a checkbox here. Teaming up with others can dramatically improve your odds, letting you split roles, share resources, and defend each other when danger closes in. Whether you prefer solo grit or coordinated groups, the game pushes you to think ahead, manage risk, and pick your battles.

The island itself is inviting to explore, with enough openness to chart your own path, yet it never lets you relax for long. Expect a steep challenge that rewards patience and smart decision making, and be ready to adapt when plans go sideways.

Details worth noting: the current build is 0.3.10 alpha, it supports English and Russian, and it requires Android 9.0 or later. If you are after a tough survival experience with crafting depth and meaningful multiplayer cooperation, Oxide: Survival Island delivers a demanding but compelling test of endurance.
