Palworld, a game that has achieved tremendous success on PC and Xbox, has left PlayStation gamers wondering when they will get a chance to experience it. Players who have already embarked on their Palworld adventure on PC and Xbox are already familiar with the game’s world, a unique combination of sandbox survival, base building, and crafting, as well as the best Pals to catch at the beginning. However, for those planning to play on Nintendo and PlayStation consoles, understanding this breakthrough success from 2024 is a bit more complicated. Fortunately, Pocket Pair, the developer behind Palworld, is aware of these difficulties.

The combination of survival elements and creature collecting in Palworld is something that these genres haven’t truly experimented with before. This, combined with the idea of collecting creatures like in Pokémon, but also using firearms, makes the title incredibly enticing. This is especially true for Xbox Series X|S owners, where Palworld is available for download and play through the Xbox Game Pass.

These pieces of evidence indicate that PlayStation unexpectedly found itself surprised by the popularity of Palworld. This situation is very similar to when Microsoft was taken aback by the immense success of Baldur’s Gate 3 last year, as the Xbox version was released much later than the PC version due to screen division issues on the Xbox Series S.
