Straight from my Steam account. Yes, those hours are real. No, I don't want to talk about it.
Open-world survival crafting with creature collecting, base automation and far too many ways to lose a night. My breeding and base-layout notes live here.
Official pitch: Fight, farm, build and work alongside mysterious creatures called "Pals" in this completely new multiplayer, open world survival and crafting game!
Lessons learned so you don't have to lose a base to learn them.
Breeding in Palworld is a slot machine you can rig. Here is the cake-to-egg pipeline I use, plus the passive-skill stacking that turns a random pal into a proper workhorse.
Read guide →Ore, coal and sulfur on tap: the Mining Pals worth a Pal Sphere at every stage, plus breeding routes when the wild refuses to cooperate.
Read guide →Wood is the sneaky bottleneck in every base. Here are the Logging Pals that keep the chests full early, mid and late game.
Read guide →Furnaces, cooking pots and refined ingots — the Kindling Pals that keep your fires lit without torching your food supply.
Read guide →Handiwork is the stat that decides whether your base builds itself or stares at you. These are the picks that actually finish things.
Read guide →Plantations, cooling and furnace duty. The Watering Pals worth keeping, from your first berry patch to a full farm.
Read guide →Seeds in, food out. The Planting Pals that turn your base into a working farm instead of a sad berry bush.
Read guide →Berries, eggs and everything else your Pals should be picking. The Gathering picks for every stage of the run.
Read guide →Nothing kills a base like items rotting on the floor. These Transporting Pals actually haul.
Read guide →Coolers, egg incubators and the fridge nobody staffs. Here are the Cooling Pals worth a slot.
Read guide →Power plants are hungry. These are the Electricity Pals that keep the lights on without constant babysitting.
Read guide →Sick Pals are useless Pals. The Medicine Production picks that keep your medicine workbench humming.
Read guide →Ranch duty is free loot while you sleep. The Farming Pals worth a spot on the ranch.
Read guide →Robots watch the store page so my wallet can pretend to be surprised.
This update fixes problems with game visuals, specifically where terrain and buildings might look blurry or low-resolution for some players. It also corrects an issue that caused map icon filters to turn off after you respawned.

Players can now vote in the Palworld Global Popularity Poll 2026 to support their favorite Pals and some human characters from the game. This update introduces no new in-game content, but rather an external event for player participation.

This update is not a game patch and does not change anything in Palworld for players. It's news about Pocketpair's head of publishing discussing how many potential collaborations they have rejected or scrapped for the game.

This "update" isn't a patch, but rather a guide to obtaining Chromite in Palworld. It explains that Chromite requires a specific tool or Pal to mine and details how to use a metal detector for initial acquisition and set up passive farming for larger quantities.

The marketing shots — where the lighting is perfect and nobody is on fire.
