The Differences Between Palworld on Xbox and Steam Explained: A Developer’s Perspective

In the world of Palworld, players have noticed some differences between the Xbox and Steam versions of the game. Fortunately, Pocketpair, the game’s developer, has provided an explanation for these variances.

According to information posted by Windows Central, Pocketpair’s community manager, Bucky, clarified the situation on the official Pocketpair Discord server. The Xbox and PC versions differ because the developer is still awaiting Microsoft’s approval for the latest update. Bucky explained that “It was applied on Steam 2 days ago. It’s in line for certification by MS on Xbox.”

When asked about important fixes and when fans can expect an update for Xbox, Bucky responded, stating that “Some of these things require additional time… We are really at the mercy of the certification process. We are desperately trying to expedite this process.”

Bucky, the community manager, further elaborated, stating that issues such as the lack of an exit button in the game are not a result of an “older version.” They are separate problems. In fact, Steam and Xbox will likely never have identical version numbers until the game is introduced in cross-play mode because, at that point, they will be the same internally.

Currently, there are not many differences between the Xbox and Steam versions of Palworld, but the ones that do exist are quite apparent. As we reported last week, the biggest difference is that the Xbox and PC Game Pass versions offer only a lobby for four players, while the PC version supports a lobby for 32 players. Other minor changes on Xbox include slower item crafting times and the ability to name characters, among others.

The certification process for the Xbox version of Palworld is still ongoing, and there is no confirmed completion date from Microsoft.
