Summary
Palworldhas released a new update, specifically for the Xbox and Microsoft Store PC version of the popular open world survival game. Developer Pocketpair has been quick to release multiplePalworldupdates since the game’s early access launch.
As is typical of early access games,Palworldhas some shortcomings that need ironed out to bring it up to the quality one would expect from a 1.0 release. TheXbox version ofPalworldespecially seems to suffer from technical issues, with more frequent crashes than its Steam counterpart. It’s unclear if the latestPalworldupdate addresses that particular issue or not, but fans can still expect a smoother experience after they download it.
Pocketpair has released a brand-newPalworldupdate that Xbox gamers can download right now. The patch notes for this newPalworldupdate are quite short, with the only note being that it has “fixed some issues which negatively affected game stability.” ThoseplayingPalworldon Xbox Game Passwill need to download the update and test it themselves to figure out if any of their specific complaints have been addressed. In the meantime, Pocketpair has promised that it will continue to prioritize fixing the game’s major issues.
One of the most frustrating issues inPalworldis the bug where Pals simply do not attack or do anything else helpful. Quitting out of the game and relaunching can fix the problem sometimes, but that is not an ideal solution. Pals refusing to attack can make some ofPalworld’s boss fights basically unbeatable, and so hopefully this issue is fixed sooner rather than later.
The Xbox version ofPalworldhas a ways to go before it’s up to par with the Steam release. There are many differences betweenPalworldon Xbox and PC, with the Xbox version lacking dedicated servers and capping the total number of players in any given world to 4, as opposed to the 32 that is allowed on Steam. Thankfully, future updates should bring the Xbox version ofPalworldcloser to its Steam counterpart.
Other big updates are on the way forPalworld, with the content roadmap promising PvP, raids, and more.Palworldhas been a massive sales success, and if Pocketpair continues to update the game regularly, there’s no reason to assume it will lose its momentum at any point in the near future.
