Summary
Palworldon Xbox received its second update of the week. Developer Pocket Pair recently dropped Patch 0.1.5.0 forPalworld, which addressed a wide range of issues from Pal AI to cheating and other various bugs. Now, the team is back with a slew of fixes and balance tweaks to improve gameplay and reduce crashes.
ThislatestPalworldupdatearrived for Steam users a couple of days prior, but the Xbox version was slated for release at a previously unknown time. The Xbox version ofPalworldhas historically lagged behind the Steam version in terms of performance and available features since its early access launch. However, Microsoft has since teamed up with Pocket Pair to aid development, presumably ensuringPalworld’s Xbox iteration remains up to par. Still, Xbox fans didn’t have to wait too long for the latest update, as the new patch is officially available for console and PC Game Pass players.
Palworldupdate 0.1.5.1 reduces various game crashes, fixes server issues, balances gameplay, and even addresses a bug in which players were unable togive Pals nicknames. Additionally, Pocket Pair has addressed some issues inPalworld’sdungeons that have been plaguing players. Of course,Palworldis still in early access, so players should expect more patches before this already massive hit reaches 1.0.
In addition to bug fixes and stabilization patches,Palworldrevealed its future content roadmap,which will feature PvP, raid bosses, new Pals, new areas, and crossplay. For now, however, Pocket Pair is understandably focused on polishingPalworldin its current form, so no timeline was given as to when players can expect these new features.
Even with the latest update, the Xbox version ofPalworldstill falls a bit short of its Steam counterpart in several different areas. For example,Palworldon Xbox lacks dedicated servers. While that’s arguably the console’s most glaring omission in terms of features, the Xbox version is also limited in terms of its multiplayer capacity in comparison to the Steam iteration. Still, many Xbox gamers have been enjoyingPalworld, as it has become the largest third-party launch in Game Pass history. As a day one launch for the subscription service,Palworldhas been a massive success for the platform.
Despite various controversies,Palworldhas garnered record-setting player counts and become easily the biggest surprise hit of the year so far. With all the success, it’s sometimes easy to forget thatPalworldis still in early access. Between regular updates and an exciting roadmap ahead, fans have plenty to be excited about moving forward.
