Update 0.5.0 for Palworld is now live. This patch brings the long-awaited crossplay across all platforms where Palworld is available. What else is new, you can read here.

What are the key new features? The most important new feature with patch 0.5.0 is crossplay: From now on, players on various platforms where Palworld is available can play together. This fulfills a promise from their roadmap made in 2024.

Additionally, a global Palbox is now available. This allows for transferring Pals between worlds. There is also a new storage system that, according to the patch notes, has ten times the capacity of the normal Palbox. Members of your own guild can access it, or it can be set to private.

Furthermore, a system for cosmetic armors is being introduced: With the ancient wardrobe, the appearance of the equipped armor can be changed. The stats will not be affected accordingly.

Also new is the photo mode and the design table, which allows you to make rarer designs from less rare blueprints. You can read what other adjustments, bug fixes, and updates are included in the patch below.
