'Pokémon with guns' certainly grabs your attention, and given how much it has been wishlisted on Steam, it’s clear this hook has worked.

So, for those excited, we’ve got the Palworld release date, and will be taking a look at if it will be launching on Game Pass.

We’ll also answer any burning questions about the UK launch time, if Palworld will run on the Steam Deck, multiplayer, gameplay and trailers — so buckle up!

The reviews have already been quite positive, too, so even more reason to get excited!

But that’s quite enough from us. Read on and get pally with the Pals of Palworld, pal.

The release date for Palworld is 19th January 2024.

This is an early access release, however, and there’s no word on when the full release might come around.

The game is set to receive patches, and if you are already subscribed to Xbox Game Pass, it may well be worth a punt.

With no announced Pokémon games on the horizon, Palworld could be the title that keeps you busy until then, though you can always keep on top of your health by getting your steps in with Pokémon Go or catching Zs with Pokémon Sleep.

Palworld will launch at 8am GMT on 19th January 2024.

If you’re going to play it on Game Pass, you can pre-load it ahead of time to get started as soon as the game launches.

If you’re playing on Steam, there’s no such luck, and you’ll be stuck with a sizeable 40GB download before you can hop in.

Yes, Palworld is coming to Xbox Game Pass.

It’s available from day one, so come launch day, you’ll be able to hop in and try it out.

This was confirmed by Microsoft in a blog post on Xbox Wire. It’s not clear how long Palworld will be available, so be sure to try it out as soon as you can, if you are interested in dipping your toes into the world of Pals.

There’s always something new being added to the service, too, so you’re never short of games to play.

Yes, Palworld is multiplayer.

While you can play with friends, you can also play with enemies. Pocketpair makes this clear on its website.

«Work together with fellow players for shared adventures in an open-world setting. Multiplayer not only allows for cooperation, but also conflict, enabling players to attack one another, steal Pals and even steal items.

»Players can engage in Pal battles, pitting their Pals against each other in combat."

It definitely doesn’t take much for Palworld to descend into Painworld, then. Hopefully, you’ve got a solid bunch of pals and Pals to keep your base safe.
