Yes — Palworld is already available on PlayStation 5. Pocketpair released a PS5 version in September 2024 (the PlayStation product page and store list a PS5 release date of September 24, 2024), and the developer has continued to support that version with updates while working toward a full 1.0 launch in 2026. See the official PlayStation product page for the PS5 listing and the studio’s roadmap toward v1.0. PlayStation product page Gematsu report on Palworld 1.0 plans.

Supporting details and context: Palworld received cross-play and world-transfer support as part of a March 2025 update, enabling multiplayer between PS5, PC and Xbox players, and the team has continued shipping content patches. There was a noted regional complication—Japan’s PS5 release faced a hold amid legal discussion in 2024—so availability can vary by territory. Key points: - PS5 release: September 24, 2024 (PlayStation listing). PlayStation product page - Cross-play & world transfer: March 2025 update. PushSquare coverage - Full v1.0 launch targeted for 2026. Gematsu report - Japan release initially held amid legal issues. The Verge coverage

Q.Can I use mods in Palworld?

A.Yes — Palworld doesn’t have official Steam Workshop support at launch, but community mods are already widespread on PC (mostly via Nexus Mods); Pocketpair has said official workshop support is planned “after launch,” and mods are best used offline or on private servers because updates and platform differences can break them or cause bans on official servers.
