All Palworld Platforms (current and upcoming)

Catching and building, together.

Palworld 🌱is a game that took the beginning of 2024 by storm, breaking records on Steam and amassing over two million concurrent users at its peak. Because of its major success on its initial release, Palworld was eventually released on other platforms.

That being said, here are all the platforms Palworld is on, along with speculations and possꦜibilities of makin🍒g it to even more platforms.

All platforms Palworld is on currently

Right now, Palworld is currently on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5, PC, and soon on Mac ဣOS. 

At its initial launch in early access on January 19, 2024, Palworld was only available via Microsoft platforms (Xbox One, Series consoles, and 🔜PC). It was also an Xbox Game Pass day one exclusive, boasting very high player counts.

Despite having ver꧟y limited crossplay and some technical issues at launch, the game ꦗdid very well. 

With the overwhelming success, this did leave a few other potential fans on other platforms wondering if Palworld would eve🃏ntually come to Sony, Mac, and Nintendo.&n🦹bsp;

Fortunately for the PS5, they would eventually get the ea🍌rly access builds later in 2024. Apple use🐓rs will have to wait a bit longer while Nintendo players do not have much hope (yet).

Palworld landed on the PlayStation 5 on September 24, 2024, right after the State of Play.

As of now, the only major platforms that Palworld is not on yet are Mac OS (which will come later in 2025) a꧃nd Nintendo platforms (Switch and Swiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtch 2).

Platforms Palworld isn’t on

As of right now, Nintendo consoles are the only major platforms on which Palworld isn’t available. Given the꧒ rec♚ent lawsuit filed by Nintendo and The Pokemon Company, it is unclear whether it will ever see a home on Nintendo’s platfo🍸rms.

Don’t hold your breath if you want to experience the game on the Switch or Switch 2.
