Pocketpair has announced that the highly anticipated cross-play feature will be added to Palworld in late March 2025, allowing players to interact across different platforms, including PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and Mac. This development addresses one of the most frequent requests from the community since the game’s early access launch, highlighting the studio’s commitment to user experience.
Multiplayer mode and Pals transfer
The next update will not only include cross-play, but it will also implement the ability to play in multiplayer mode across platforms and the possibility of transferring Pals between worlds. These features promise to enhance gameplay and offer new ways of interaction among players, which could attract an even broader base within the gaming community.
Meanwhile, the game has recently surpassed the figure of 32 million players across all available platforms, a number that includes users from Xbox Game Pass and Game Preview. This remarkable milestone highlights the popularity of the title and its growing community, which continues to expand as Pocketpair keeps developing the game.
However, the study is not without controversy. Currently, it is in the midst of a legal dispute with Nintendo and The Pokemon Company, which have accused Pocketpair of infringing several patents. This legal conflict could have significant implications for the future of the studio and its video game development.
Despite these challenges, Pocketpair has also sought to expand the Palworld brand through a collaboration with Sony for merchandising. This partnership could open new business opportunities and strengthen the game’s presence in the market. With the launch of crossplay and the wide acceptance of the title, the future of Palworld looks promising, although legal uncertainties add an element of intrigue to its development.
