Palworld 1.0: Upgrades and Price

Palworld 1.0: Roadmap Info and New Features
Is there a clear roadmap?
There is no roadmap where you can immediately see all the new features. Through the last trailer shown at the Summer Game Fest, many fans received a brief glimpse into the upcoming content. Additionally, community manager John “Bucky” Buckley also mentioned details on X that you can expect soon.
What new features does 1.0 bring?
The developers have gone all out and created new content that aims to pull you back into the game. This includes:
- New Pals will be introduced in the game that you can catch
- There will still be no evolutions, as known from Pokémon – the developers have denied that
- New regions, including access to the World Tree.
- The tree that all players have seen from afar for months will soon be reachable and explorable. A new massive island with new locations will be implemented in Palworld.
- Story and progression system has been adjusted
- A story will now be implemented that allows you to dive deeper into the world of Pals. In addition, the pace in early and mid-game will be adjusted. This will make the gaming experience feel more rounded and satisfying.
- Many “Quality of Life” adjustments
- The team has worked on the servers as well as the overall connection. The notorious rubberbanding problem should therefore be less pronounced thanks to optimized solutions. Additionally, further adjustments have been made, but these are not yet known.

Palworld 1.0: Server Wipe and Game Pass
Is there a server wipe and will I lose my save after 1.0?
No! You will still be able to keep your save. This includes your progress as well as your built bases. There will be no server wipe. However, the developers still recommend creating a new save purely for the gaming experience and due to the new content. This way, you can experience all the content better.
I want to buy Palworld on Steam, but I’ve previously played via Game Pass – Is there a way to transfer my save to Steam?
Yes, there is, but it is a bit complicated. You will need the XGP Save Extractor from GitHub. This is a Python script that you can run. It will then create many zip files with the saves it supports, including Palworld, after a brief search through your Xbox directory. To do this, you proceed as follows:
- Activate the .exe file of the XGP Save Extractor and let the process run.
- Then, search in your directory where you downloaded the extractor for the files you need – in this case, a .zip file from Palworld.
- Now go to Steam and add these to the folder where your world is located
- You should log into Palworld before, so that Steam can create the folder directory.
Now you should have your old world from Palworld, which was previously only on the Xbox cloud. This way, you can continue where you once left off.
