Alright, fellow gamers, buckle up—Palworld’s about to get a whole lot wilder. Crossplay’s finally dropping across PC, Xbox, and PS5 this month, and Pocketpair’s even tossing in “some little surprises” to spice up the survival game we’ve all been obsessed with. Late March is the target, and honestly, it’s about time we got to team up with our pals—no matter what platform they’re on.
I still remember Palworld’s early access launch over a year ago. That hype was unreal. On Steam, it smashed past two million concurrent players like it was nothing—only the second game ever to pull that off back then. Xbox players were all over it too, and when it hit PS5 later? Straight to the top of Japan’s charts. The thirst for this game’s been insane across every platform, and now Pocketpair’s tearing down the walls. Late March means you’ll be roaming with your crew—PC, Xbox, PS5, doesn’t matter—and you can even drag your precious Pals along from other saves with the world transfer feature. No exact date yet, but we’re already halfway through the month, so it’s gotta be soon, right?
Pocketpair dropped the news today, and while they’re keeping the “surprises” under wraps, I’m already hyped. Maybe some new Pals? A quirky feature we didn’t see coming? They’re not spilling the beans yet, but they did make it clear: this ain’t the last hurrah for Palworld. Oh, and if you’re wondering about the update’s scope—no massive details yet, just the crossplay and world transfer goodies confirmed. Still, after last December’s Feybreak update (that Nuzlocke mode was a genius move for us Pokémon vets), I’ve got faith they’ll deliver something worth shouting about.
Thinking back to Feybreak, that patch sent Steam numbers soaring again—proof this game’s got staying power. Crossplay might not hit those same bonkers peaks, but uniting the playerbase? That’s a win I can feel in my bones. Been a minute since I last booted up Palworld myself—got distracted chasing achievements in other titles—but this might just pull me back in. You’ve probably got your own stories of taming Pals or building ridiculous bases with your squad. Soon, you won’t have to care what system they’re on.
So, keep your eyes peeled, late March is creeping up fast. Whether you’re a day-one survivor or a newbie jumping in, Palworld’s crossplay update is about to make things a lot more chaotic—in the best way possible.
