While they'll continue providing news and updates through their social media channels and official Discord server, they will evaluate the game's development and release feedback. On the game's official Nintendo Switch release announcement post, they are working extremely hard to have its PC launch before the Nintendo Switch's release and will share an update soon.

The PC and Nintendo Switch versions are free-to-play and won't require platform-specific subscriptions like the Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

Lastly, the game will support cross-platform play or crossplay for its PC and Switch versions, allowing players to play the game on all their preferred platforms. Palia will also support cross-progression, meaning your game saves will be shared between platforms, letting you continue investing your time into setting up your home and more in Palia.

Palia is currently available in Open Beta for PC, as players can install the game launcher detailed in this guide. The game is slated to be released for the Nintendo Switch on 14th December 2023.
