What this game is

Palworld is a completely new open-world survival game where the main role belongs to creatures called Pals. Catch them in the wild with a Pal Sphere (similar to a Poké Ball, only completely serious), build battle teams and fight other Pals and humans. But that is only the tip of the iceberg.

Each Pal is a battle ally, a worker on your base, a means of transport and a source of resources all at once. Some chop trees, others smelt ore, still others lay eggs or give milk. The base can be developed from a primitive camp to a full production complex with automation, if the right Pals are chosen.

The game offers a solo mode and multiplayer servers for up to 32 players, PvP, co-op boss raids and PvE content on a large map. Recent updates added Hardcore Mode (hardcore with permanent death of Pals), a new island Feybreak, collaborations with Terraria and ULTRAKILL, and Xenolord raids.

In its first month the game gathered 25 million players and became the biggest third-party publisher launch in the history of Xbox Game Pass. The full 1.0 release is planned for 2026 with a large content update. Steam rating: "Overwhelmingly Positive" (95% from 151,244+ reviews). Available on PC, Xbox and PS5.

The interface and subtitles are translated into Russian. There is no voice acting in any language: the characters communicate with sounds.

Catch mysterious Pals, build a base and survive in an open world, solo or with a team of up to 32 players. A phenomenon with 32 million players.
