Palworld, the Pokémon equivalent of GTA, gives players an immense level of room for their creativity. While the game’s mechanics won’t be limiting your horizons, its available platforms might since Palworld‘s debut only took place on two outlets.
The open-world survival and crafting title embodies all the monster-catching goodness of Pokémon, slicing it with gameplay elements of games like Ark. You’re intrigued, I’m intrigued, so let’s see where you’ll be able to play it.
Every Palworld platform: PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Nintendo
Palworld is available on Xbox Series X|S and PC. In the latter, players can access the game through Steam or the Xbox app.
The Steam availability also means that Palworld will be getting mods down the line, an aspect that the developers have been looking forward to. At the time of writing, it isn’t clear whether the console version of the game will support modding.
Where to play Palworld
You can play Palworld on a PC, or an Xbox Series X|S, as of Jan. 20, 2024. If you were hoping to play the game on other platforms like PS5 and PS4, or Nintendo Switch, you’ll need to wait until Palworld starts expanding its reach.
For the time being, Palworld is not being lined up for a PlayStation port or a Nintendo Switch version. Palworld is free on Xbox Game Pass, though—which is a nice bonus and sure to grab the attention of more players.
According to the official early access FAQ, a PS5 copy is not out of the question. “We don’t have plans for this at the moment, but will consider it during development!”
So, I’d recommend coming back to this article to see if there are any developments and if Palworld will become more pally with other brands. The hype around Palworld is well-earned, and it begs even more questions: is Palworld free-to-play and is Palworld crossplay-friendly?
