Palworld has officially passed 40 million players worldwide, a milestone Pocketpair is celebrating just two days before the sport exits Early Access this Friday, July 10, on PlayStation 5, XBOX One, XBOX Series X|S, and PC. To mark the occasion, the studio released a retrospective video hosted by Pocketpair\u2019s Bucky, recapping the whole lot that has modified across two and a half years of early access.<\/p>\n
When Palworld hit Early Access on January 19, 2024, it shipped with 137 Pals, a level cap of fifty, and a single archipelago to explore. The version players log into today counts 215 Pals and a level cap of 65, with a map that has grown island by island along the way in which.<\/p>\n
The primary 12 months alone reshaped the sport considerably, starting with the Raids update that introduced summonable boss fights against Bellanoir, together with training manuals and power fruits for more flexible Pal leveling. Summer 2024\u2019s Sakurajima update added the sport\u2019s first recent zone, the Moonflowers faction and its tower boss Saya, a PvP arena, and the oil rig stronghold, before Feybreak closed out the 12 months with one other large island, Pal Expeditions, a research tree, and the hardcore and randomizer modes.<\/p>\n
The pace didn\u2019t slow in 2025, with March\u2019s version 0.5 finally delivering full crossplay across PC, PlayStation 5, and XBOX alongside the Global Pal Box, transmog, and photo mode. June\u2019s Tides of Terraria marked the sport\u2019s first crossover, bringing Terraria\u2019s Moon Lord as a raid boss plus fishing, salvaging, and Zoe as a recruitable companion, and winter\u2019s Home Sweet Home update followed with the ULTRAKILL collaboration, a reworked constructing system, a dedicated raid arena, and Steam Workshop mod support.<\/p>\n
As for what 1.0 actually comprises, Pocketpair is asking it the studio\u2019s biggest update ever, promising many recent Pals, weapons, and items, recent areas to explore, overhauls to many existing mechanics, and what the team is barely teasing as a couple of surprises. The total reveal will probably come Friday.<\/p>\n
We shared our first impressions back when Palworld first hit Early Access, and as a bunch, we\u2019re really excited to revisit it for 1.0 and see how far things have come. It\u2019ll need to wait until we\u2019re done with Granblue Fantasy Relink: Infinite Ragnarok, though.<\/p>\n
