Palworld has released a new update, specifically for the Xbox and Microsoft Store PC version of the popular open world survival game. Developer Pocketpair has been quick to release multiple Palworld updates since the game's early access launch.

As is typical of early access games, Palworld has some shortcomings that need ironed out to bring it up to the quality one would expect from a 1.0 release. The Xbox version of Palworld especially seems to suffer from technical issues, with more frequent crashes than its Steam counterpart. It's unclear if the latest Palworld update addresses that particular issue or not, but fans can still expect a smoother experience after they download it.

The Pals in Palworld can do more than just shoot guns. With the right buildings and equipment in a Base, Pals can churn out resources in no time.

Pocketpair has released a brand-new Palworld update that Xbox gamers can download right now. The patch notes for this new Palworld update are quite short, with the only note being that it has "fixed some issues which negatively affected game stability." Those playing Palworld on Xbox Game Pass will need to download the update and test it themselves to figure out if any of their specific complaints have been addressed. In the meantime, Pocketpair has promised that it will continue to prioritize fixing the game's major issues.

One of the most frustrating issues in Palworld is the bug where Pals simply do not attack or do anything else helpful. Quitting out of the game and relaunching can fix the problem sometimes, but that is not an ideal solution. Pals refusing to attack can make some of Palworld's boss fights basically unbeatable, and so hopefully this issue is fixed sooner rather than later.

The Xbox version of Palworld has a ways to go before it's up to par with the Steam release. There are many differences between Palworld on Xbox and PC, with the Xbox version lacking dedicated servers and capping the total number of players in any given world to 4, as opposed to the 32 that is allowed on Steam. Thankfully, future updates should bring the Xbox version of Palworld closer to its Steam counterpart.

Other big updates are on the way for Palworld, with the content roadmap promising PvP, raids, and more. Palworld has been a massive sales success, and if Pocketpair continues to update the game regularly, there's no reason to assume it will lose its momentum at any point in the near future.
