About the Game
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, 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. Don't worry; there are no labor laws for Pals.
Production
Make use of Pals and their skills 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.
In online co-op play mode, up to 4 players can play together.
Additionally, a dedicated server can allow up to 32 players to play together.

Thank you for your continued support of Palworld.
2025 has been an incredible year for Palworld, and we’re excited to end the year with v0.7, Home Sweet Home! The purpose of this update is to begin improving existing features, and while this update may not be as content-rich as previous ones, we hope players understand that it’s necessary for us to begin laying the groundwork now as we work on the development of Palworld 1.0.
You can find more info about this in our Palworld 1.0 video here:
[dynamiclink href="https://youtu.be/tEVIBHP37eM?si=K33bxXJNwmQWgnYX"]
Palworld v0.7 - Home Sweet Home!
▼ ULTRAKILL Collaboration!
Palworld’s second collab, ULTRAKILL, finally arrives!
This update adds several iconic weapons and armour, as well as a V1’s infamous coin toss! Thank you to New Blood and Hakita for allowing us to play with their incredible game, and we hope our fans will enjoy taking on battles in a fresh, stylish way with this special equipment!

▼ Improvements to Building
A big part of the Home Sweet Home update is, as the name suggests, your home!
We have been blown away by all the incredible builds that you guys have been sending us, and we know that you have been eagerly waiting for more freedom in how you design your base. This update brings a large number of new building parts, including the much-requested triangular pieces!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40671762/938144c1a50616e9963aeb0b4a85f7cb5032b2d1.jpg"]
Another new addition to the building system in this update is the ability to change the colour of building pieces! Express yourself in any way you feel like by adding a splash of your favourite colour to your home!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40671762/e097712a303304068e3c99d7843406a42bd72031.jpg"]
The building menu UI has been redesigned and reformatted into a list. You can now select the structures and parts you need more intuitively, which should result in an overall smoother building experience!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40671762/abf103c9e78de775fb1017254e9b088213efef99.jpg"]
▼ Raid Battlefields!
When summoning a raid boss at the Summoning Altar, players can now choose to either fight at their base as before, or take on the raid boss in a special “Raid Area”.
These Raid Areas allow you to fight with all your might, without risking any damage to your base. You can build temporary structures and take items into these special Raid Areas.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40671762/944e272e2785ae34f2431654e900f18b6407d617.jpg"]
That’s not all… A new raid boss has also appeared! Team up with your Pals and allies to take on this new formidable foe!

▼ Improved Melee Combat
Melee is often overlooked in the late game, so we wanted to start improving the system to make it more viable and fun for players. To that end, we have made improvements to the melee gameplay!
The basic attack actions for swords, katanas, and beam swords have been changed. You can now perform attacks consecutively by repeatedly pressing left click (right trigger on controller). In addition, special attacks have been added to katanas and beam swords. You can activate a special attack by holding down right click (left trigger on controller) and left click (right trigger on controller). Take your melee gameplay to the next level!
This is our first pass at improving the melee combat, and we have even more improvements planned to the melee system for 1.0!
▼ Steam Workshop
We would like to express our deepest thanks to the Palworld modding community, who, since day 1 have been passionately making so many fun mods for Palworld. We have now added Steam Workshop to the game, allowing players to try out a variety of mods and discover new ways to play with greater ease! If you are interested in modding, please head over to the Steam Workshop for more details!
Please note that Steam Workshop is only available for the Steam version of Palworld.
Please also note that some servers, including official servers, prohibit the use of mods in order to ensure fair play. To that end, we recommend only using mods in single-player or with your friends.
A special thank you to Primarinabee and Okaetsu for their help and assistance with this feature!
For more information about modding and how to mod, please see the guidelines and documentation provided on our Steam Workshop or visit the Palworld modding GitHub:

▼ PvP (Experimental)
PvP has been a topic of discussion in the Palworld community for a long time, and although it’s hard to fully integrate PvP into the game, we are releasing all the necessary tools for players to set up their own PvP rules on their own terms.
Show off your skills and compete with other Pal Tamers!
Please note that PvP is experimental, and as such, there may be some balancing issues.
For more information on how to enable and set PvP parameters on your server, please see the new PvP guidelines in our server documentation: https://docs.palworldgame.com
