The newest addition to the survival game genre is Palworld, but it has a Pokemon-like twist that has players flocking to Steam and Xbox Game Pass to get their hands on it. It seems the huge number of players has taken its toll on the early release game.
Palworld is the highly anticipated creature collector in which players are able to collect Pals, adorable animal-like creatures that are very reminiscent of the popular Pokemon franchise. Only this time, they get guns, and the meme runs itself. Players must work together with Pals to build their base and take out the Syndicate that is invading the Pals’ homes. This game has quickly gained popularity from the moment it was released for early access.

Today, developer Pocketpair announced that the servers that run Palworld’s multiplayer capabilities are currently down due to the massive number of people playing the game. The official Twitter/X for Palworld has given the notice that the current number of players on at one time exceeds 1.3 million people, which is causing outages due to the high workload.
For us, if there was one thing that would make the servers go down, having the cause be too many people wanting to play the game isn’t exactly a bad thing. Of course, the flocks of fans flooding the game’s multiplayer servers do seem like a lot for a game that’s only just been released in early access. While we were playing yesterday as a team, we saw several instances of frame drops and chugging that made us think the game was about to crash.
The Palword Twitter also announced that it had a total of 4 million players in the first three days of its release, and the numbers are just increasing. With numbers like those on an early release, it’s no wonder the servers are struggling to keep up.
There is good news for solo players, though. The server outages do not hinder single-player worlds. If gamers don’t mind taking up the Palworld challenge on their own, they will still be able to fully enjoy the game.
Players are to keep an eye on server updates through the Palworld Twitter and the official discord for further information concerning the server status. In the meantime, our complete guide has everything players need to push through the toughest parts of the game alone.

In Palworld, you have the freedom to treat your Pals as you wish. For the most part, players love to spoil their captured buddies and wouldn’t dream of hurting them. Sometimes, however, butchering a Pal is needed. Thankfully, the game censors that action. Right?
Reviving Pals in is a necessary step in case you want to continue using your captured companions. Despite the constant comparisons between the game and the franchise, this is a survival title and, unlike Nintendo’s classic series, there is no specific item that automatically restores a fallen creature’s HP and has them ready on the go. You will have to follow a very thorough and somewhat unexplained set of steps to revive your Pals.
Lucky Pals are the Shiny Pokemon of Palworld — rare creatures with a slightly different color palette. But Lucky Pals aren’t just cosmetic. These immensely rare critters can have unique traits you won’t find on all those normal, non-shiny Pals. If you’re looking to catch the very best version of your favorite Pals, here’s a few tips to actually track down one of these rare Shiny variants. Don’t worry, they’re not nearly as rare as Shiny Pokemon, and there’s a method you can use to spot them so, so much faster.
Electric Organs are an essential material in for crafting and supplying electricity to your base. Unfortunately, these items can be a hassle to obtain early-game because they require players to search for Electric Pals to hunt. You can either capture or defeat targets to obtain Electric Organs. This is especially great for those who do not want to eliminate a bunch of cute Electric Pals in the process. There is one other method to obtain Electric Organs, but this comes at a price.
Breeding is an important feature of , allowing you to hatch new team members from eggs produced by other creatures. The crossing of types in breeding allows for unique Pals to be created, but it can be challenging to set up this process without the right equipment. You'll need to reach a minimum level in the game if you want to engage with this system.
A Palworld player lost hours of progress after accidentally destroying his base in tragic fashion. Palworld has earned praise for its base-building mechanics, but things can get a little finicky sometimes.
While Palworld does take a lot of cues from its obvious inspiration, Pokemon, it isn’t simply a clone. Apart from catching and battling colorful monsters of various types, this is also a survival game with tons of building and crafting elements. Most of the early items you can craft will need basic materials, but when you start getting to the good stuff, Ancient Civilization Parts will be required more and more. While there are a few ways to get this resource, it isn’t easy to come by and won’t happen naturally for most people. If you’re stuck roaming around Palpagos looking for them, here’s how to get Ancient Civilization Parts in no time.

They are a source of progression alongside your level, which helps with certain buildings and catching materials. Depending on the time and place of the game, these Technology Points can be very useful. Regardless, obtaining them quickly is very important to get stronger.
Making progress in can be engaging, but it's not possible to advance characters or Pals forever, as a level cap will eventually be reached after enough play. Since takes obvious inspiration from both and survival crafting games like and, the inclusion of a finite leveling system isn't especially surprising. There's a big difference between a level cap of 25 and 250, however, so it can be useful to know which end of the spectrum ultimately falls closer to, in order to have a good understanding of progression.
