    About Palworld

    Palworld is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A collaboration with Terraria is currently in development. While the game received several nominations during The Game Awards 2024, it did not win any. Further, Palworld is still under scrutiny due to an ongoing court battle between Pocketpair and Nintendo. The PlayStation Store describes it as follows:

    Q. What kind of game is this?
    A. In this game, you can peacefully live alongside mysterious creatures known as Pals or risk your life to drive off a ruthless poaching syndicate.
    Pals can be used to fight and breed, or they can be made to work on farms or factories.
    You can even sell them or eat them.

    Survival

    In a harsh environment where food is scarce and vicious poachers roam, danger waits around every corner. To survive, you must tread carefully and make difficult choices…even if that means eating your own Pals when the time comes.

    Mounts & Exploration

    Pals can be mounted to traverse the land, sea and sky—allowing you to traverse all kinds of environment as you explore the world.

    Building Structures

    Want to build a pyramid? Put an army of Pals on the job. There are no labor laws for Pals, so exploit them to your heart’s content.

    Production

    Find a variety of useful Pals to make fire, generate electricity, or mine ore so that you can live a life of comfort.

    Farming

    Some Pals are good at planting seeds, while others are skilled at watering or harvesting crops. Work together with your Pals to create an idyllic farmstead.

    Factories & Automation

    Letting Pals do the work is the key to automation. Build a factory, place a Pal in it, and they’ll keep working as long as they’re fed—until they’re dead, that is.

    Dungeon Exploration

    With Pals on your side you can tackle even the most dangerous areas. When the time comes, you might have to sacrifice one to save your skin. They’ll protect your life—even if it costs their own.

    Breeding & Genetics

    Breed a Pal and it will inherit the characteristics of its parents. Combine rare pals to create the strongest Pal of them all!

    Poaching & Crime

    Endangered Pals live in wildlife sanctuaries. Sneak in and capture rare Pals to get rich quick! It’s not a crime if you don’t get caught, after all.

    Multiplayer

    Multiplayer is supported, so invite a friend and go on an adventure together! And of course you can battle your friends and trade Pals, too.

    Collect all kinds of exciting Pals to fight, farm, build, and work for you in this completely new multiplayer, open world survival and crafting game!
