About
Q. What kind of game is this? A. In this game, you can peacefully live alongside mysterious creatures known as Pals or risk your life to drive off a ruthless poaching syndicate. Pals can be used to fight, or they can be made to work on farms or factories. You can even sell them or eat them! Survival In a harsh environment where food is scarce and vicious poachers roam, danger waits around every corner. To survive, you must tread carefully and make difficult choices...even if that means eating your own Pals when the time comes. Mounts & Exploration Pals can be mounted to traverse the land, sea and sky—allowing you to traverse all kinds of environment as you explore the world. Building Structures Want to build a pyramid? Put an army of Pals on the job. Don't worry; there are no labor laws for Pals. Production Make use of Pals and their skills to make fire, generate electricity, or mine ore so that you can live a life of comfort. Farming Some Pals are good at planting seeds, while others are skilled at watering or harvesting crops. Work together with your Pals to create an idyllic farmstead. Factories & Automation Letting Pals do the work is the key to automation. Build a factory, place a Pal in it, and they'll keep working as long as they're fed—until they're dead, that is. Dungeon Exploration With Pals on your side you can tackle even the most dangerous areas. When the time comes, you might have to sacrifice one to save your skin. They'll protect your life—even if it costs their own. Breeding & Genetics Breed a Pal and it will inherit the characteristics of its parents. Combine rare pals to create the strongest Pal of them all! Poaching & Crime Endangered Pals live in wildlife sanctuaries. Sneak in and capture rare Pals to get rich quick! It's not a crime if you don't get caught, after all. Multiplayer Multiplayer is supported, so invite a friend and go on an adventure together! And of course you can battle your friends and trade Pals, too. In online co-op play mode, up to 4 players can play together. Additionally, a dedicated server can allow up to 32 players to play together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What does the map of Palworld look like?
A.Palworld’s world is the Palpagos Islands: an open-world archipelago of connected large islands (~16 km² reported) with distinct biomes (grass/forest, desert, snow, volcano and added islands like Sakurajima), major points of interest such as faction towers, wildlife sanctuaries and an oil rig, and lots of dungeons and named regions to explore.
Q.Is there a guide for breeding Pals in Palworld?
A.Yes — there are multiple up-to-date breeding guides for Palworld. Community resources like the Palworld Wiki and big outlets (GameSpot, GamerGuides) explain the Breeding Farm, Cake requirements, incubation and inheritance mechanics in detail.
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.
Q.Are there any new updates for Palworld?
A.Yes — Pocketpair has announced a new “Home Sweet Home” update for Palworld that launches on December 17, 2025 (it includes an ULTRAKILL collab and base recoloring). The studio is also focused on a full Version 1.0 release targeted for 2026, and earlier 2025 updates added crossplay and other systems while some mechanics were altered due to ongoing legal issues.
Q.Has there been a lawsuit filed against Palworld?
A.Yes — Nintendo and The Pokémon Company filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair in Tokyo in September 2024; the case is ongoing and has already prompted gameplay changes. (Reports cite a requested ¥10 million in damages and an injunction.)
Q.What are some good breeding combos in Palworld?
A.Top breeding combos to target: Kitsun + Astegon → Shadowbeak (excellent flying DPS/mount), Frostallion + Helzephyr → Frostallion Noct (Dark legendary variant), Ragnahawk + Tombat → Anubis (great automation/mining/combat), Reptyro + Foxcicle → Ice Reptyro (mining skill), and Relaxaurus + Suzaku → Astegon (strong mid/late-game fighter). These combos are commonly recommended by community guides and the Palworld wiki.
Q.Is there an official Palworld wiki?
A.There is no developer-maintained “official” Palworld wiki; Pocketpair publishes official news and resources on its site and Discord, while community-run wikis (notably the Palworld Fandom and the Palworld Wiki on wiki.gg) serve as the main reference hubs for players.
Q.What kinds of Pals can I find in Palworld?
A.Palworld contains over 100 distinct Pals that fill combat, mount, work and utility roles—each has elements/skills and some are boss or legendary-class; many can be used for farming, factories, transport, combat, or even sold/eaten.
Q.How do I get a Predator Core in Palworld?
A.Predator Cores only drop from Rampaging (Predator) Pals added in the Feybreak update — you must find and defeat those uncapturable field‑boss Pals at their fixed spawn points to get cores. Spawns aren’t guaranteed, so use online spawn maps and area refresh tricks to farm them reliably.
Q.Will Palworld be coming to PS5?
A.Yes — Palworld is already available on PS5 (released in many regions on September 24, 2024). Cross-play and world-transfer features arrived via updates in 2025 and the developer is planning a full v1.0 launch in 2026.
Q.Can you explain the type chart in Palworld?
A.Palworld uses a simple elemental type chart of nine types (Fire, Water, Grass, Ground, Electric, Ice, Dragon, Dark, Neutral). Most types have one strength and one weakness; Fire is strong vs two types and Neutral has no strengths. Dual-type Pals combine these effects in battle.
Q.Where can I find an Ancient Civilization Core in Palworld?
A.Ancient Civilization Cores can be found by raiding certain bosses, loot from the Oil Rig, or via Snow Mountain Frozen Cave expeditions at higher difficulties.
Q.Is there a dating sim element in Palworld?
A.Yes—there is a dating-sim element related to Palworld, but it exists as a separate spin-off called Pal♡world! ~More Than Just Pals~, not the main game itself.
Q.Where are all the dungeon locations in Palworld?
A.Palworld doesn’t have a fixed master list of dungeon entrances; dungeons are time-limited caves that spawn across many regions. Regions with known dungeons include Windswept Hills, Forgotten/Ice Wind/Sea Breeze/Marsh Island, Bamboo Groves, Dessicated Desert, Mount Obsidian, and the Astral Mountains, among others. Use maps to track openings and expect entrances to shift over time.
Q.Where can I find coal in Palworld?
A.Coal in Palworld is mainly found as ore deposits you mine in open world deserts, and it can also drop from certain Pals or appear in dungeons.
