The massive open world of Palworld is positioned perfectly for multiplayer. And thankfully, for anyone looking to play with friends, it's very much a real thing.
Five million players have jumped into the game since its launch in January. While that huge number might be asking a bit much to support in one multiplayer section, up to 32 players can take part if certain requirements are met.

So, for those looking to play with your pals, we have your options explained for if Palworld has multiplayer and crossplay.
Naturally, a big part of this depends on what platform you are playing Palworld, with Xbox Game Pass subscribers able to get in on the action.
Taking this all into consideration, here's everything you need to know about Palworld multiplayer, crossplay and how to play the new gaming phenomenon with friends.
Yes, Palworld is available to play in multiplayer.
There are a few different modes for multiplayer. These are all explained below:
In Palworld, up to four players can be together in a world, meaning you can invite three of your pals with Pals to help take down bosses or explore the map together.
You’re able to use your own single-player character in your world, but anyone you invite to your world won’t be able to bring theirs over and will have to start afresh. The same applies if you are joining someone else's world.
'Pokémon with guns' deserves more than just a paltry few people to get together, though, as proper mayhem is in order.
Pocketpair has confirmed that you can set up your own dedicated server that can host up to 32 players.
Pocketpair said in its official FAQ on Steam that it «will provide the tools to create these servers yourself at launch».
Not only that, but we’ll be able to create guilds, too. We can see some Pokémon-esque 'Gyms' coming about.
Palworld has a limited version of crossplay available. Essentially, if you or friends are playing on Xbox or PC via Game Pass then yes, crossplay functionality is applicable.
General crossplay is not yet available, with developer Pocket Pair stating that it is «working to make this a possibility as soon as possible».
How long that could be before the functionality is made available is hard to determine. Considering Palworld is in early access and the developers are more likely to consider getting the game to other platforms first, crossplay could be far down the list. So we wouldn't expect it to be added in 2024.

Is it a pirate’s life for you? If so, it won’t be a very long life in Skull and Bones if you don’t have a loyal crew at your back. Setting sail on the dangerous waters of this online game leaves you open to all sorts of peril that a team may otherwise avoid. While you are always in a server with up to 20 other players, you never know who those players will be, which is where forming a group comes in handy. Thanks to Skull and Bones being a crossplay game, the only limiting factor to playing with some pals is knowing how to do it, which is where we come in.
