The open-world survival and crafting game Palworld, akin to Pokemon with guns, is releasing both on PC and Xbox consoles (Early Access) on Jan. 19, 2024. As a multiplayer co-op experience, many gamers might be wondering if Palworld is a crossplay title.
For those who plan to explore the mysterious Palpagos Island with friends, we'll explain Palworld's crossplay and cross-save availability, so let's jump in.
Is Palworld Crossplay? Answered
We are just going to cut to the chase right now. Palworld does not support crossplay between PC and Xbox consoles at the Early Access launch.
In a FAQ post on Steam, the developers at Pocketpair did explain that:
Not at launch, but we are working to make this a possibility as soon as possible!
At the time of writing, there is no indication when crossplay functionality will come to Palworld.
Does Palworld Feature Cross-Saves?
Palworld does not feature cross-saves between platforms. This might change in the future, however, so we will update this section of our guide once we know more.
The developers do plan to add a server/save transfer method later on in development, which means cross-saves might be coming to Palworld. For now, however, your character is bound to your world and is not shared across servers or single-player.
Check out the video below, where the CEO of Pocketpair, Mizobe, explains what Palworld is and answers fan questions.
So there you have it; Palworld does not feature crossplay or cross-saves at launch. As soon as this changes, we will endeavor to update this article with haste, so stay tuned.
