Exciting news for players of Palworld! Starting later this month, you’ll be able to connect with friends across different platforms. Developer Pocket Pair shared this development on social media today, also announcing a limited-time discount of 25% for PlayStation 5 and Steam users. Although details about additional surprises in the update remain under wraps, fans are buzzing with anticipation.
Crossplay has been one of the most sought-after features since Palworld entered early access in 2024. Initially, players could only team up with others on the same platform. However, with this update, players from various operating systems, including macOS, can unite to construct enormous bases, fend off the Syndicate, and tackle the elusive Menasting.
The announcement has received an overwhelmingly positive response from the gaming community, though specifics about how the crossplay mechanism will function are still unclear. It appears players may have the ability to switch from a single-player mode to multiplayer, but friends would need to create new characters associated with that specific game save.
It’s possible that Pocket Pair will soon provide more insights on how the crossplay system will operate. Players who have invested time in single-player mode are particularly keen to preserve their progress. The developer has indicated that a feature for transferring worlds for Pals will be available later this year, which could help players maintain their accomplishments.
This is just the beginning of several updates that are on the horizon for the year. The Palworld roadmap suggests a wealth of new content is in store, including end-game features, a climactic boss battle, and even a crossover with Terraria. Additionally, enhancements aimed at improving performance and user interface will ensure a smoother experience, even on less powerful hardware.
