Palworld

Palworld is an open-world survival and crafting game from Tokyo-based developer Pocketpair. Players explore a large island populated by creatures called Pals, which they can capture and then put to work: fighting alongside them, gathering resources, running production lines at a base, or serving as mounts. Building, crafting and co-operative play sit at the heart of the loop.

The game entered early access on 19 January 2024 on PC and Xbox, launching into Xbox Game Pass, and later arrived on PlayStation 5. Pocketpair released the full 1.0 version on 10 July 2026 across PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox, a large update that opened up the long-teased World Tree area.
