Developer Pocketpair has released their long-awaited Palworld crossplay update bringing with it numerous improvements and new content.
The new Palworld crossplay update is now available for all platforms and adds the ability for players across platforms to play together, as well as world transferring of pals.
Here’s a rundown on the new update, plus a trailer:
New Content
- Crossplay – Cross-play is now available across all platforms.
- Global Palbox – Store Pal data in the Global Palbox and transfer Pals between worlds!
- Dimensional Pal Storage – A new storage system with 10 times the capacity of a regular Palbox! Guild members can access it, and it can also be used as a personal storage with private settings.
- Cosmetic Armour System – You can now equip armour cosmetically in the Antique Dresser. Change your character’s appearance without affecting armour stats!
- Photo Mode – Accessible from the Pal Command Wheel. Hide the UI and move the camera around to take stunning screenshots.
- Drafting Table – Combine low-rarity blueprints to create higher-rarity ones!
- Dedicated Servers for Mac
Specification Adjustments
