Palworld, the open-world, creature-collecting survival game often compared to “Pokémon with guns,” generated significant buzz upon its release. Given Pokémon’s Nintendo exclusivity, the desire for a similar experience on platforms like Xbox, PlayStation, and PC is understandable. With its survival elements and focus on cooperative gameplay reminiscent of Ark: Survival Evolved, cross-platform compatibility is a highly sought-after feature. So, can you team up with friends on different systems? Let’s delve into the current state of Palworld cross-platform play.

Current Cross-Platform Functionality in Palworld
Currently, Palworld offers limited cross-platform support between Xbox and PC. However, this compatibility only functions if you’re playing on PC via the Xbox app. Players on Steam or PS5 cannot engage in cross-platform play with those on Xbox. While not ideal, this limited functionality is still a step up from titles like Elden Ring, which lack any cross-platform options.
Future of Palworld Cross-Platform Play
The developers have stated their commitment to expanding cross-platform support. However, since the game’s launch, there have been no official updates regarding progress on this front. This leaves players hoping for broader cross-play capabilities in the future, enabling them to connect with friends regardless of their chosen platform.
Staying Updated on Cross-Platform Developments
We will continue to monitor the situation and update this article as soon as any news emerges regarding expanded cross-platform play for Palworld. Stay tuned for further developments.
