Palworld v0.5.0 Update Adds Crossplay, Storage & More

Palworld’s latest update, v0.5.0, introduces crossplay across all platforms along with several new features. Players can now store Pal data in the Global Palbox and transfer Pals between different worlds. The new Dimensional Pal Storage system is capable of ten times the capacity of a standard Palbox; you can access these as a guild member but may also use them as private storage.

The update also includes a transmog system that lets players tweak their character’s look without modifying armor stats. Then there are some other noteworthy additions like a dedicated photo mode, blueprints being able to be upgraded via the Drafting Table and dedicated Mac servers. Developer Pocketpair has since confirmed that PS5 dedicated servers are on an indefinite timeline and will arrive “later”.

Palworld has surpassed 32 million players since launching in early access in January 2024. Pocketpair has shared a 2025 roadmap, which highlights an “ending scenario” as well as further content updates. The game first hit Steam at $30, and it was available on Xbox and PC Game Pass as well. Its colossal success shattered sales and concurrent player records, whereupon it was announced that Palworld Entertainment—a new venture with Sony to expand the franchise and bring the game to PS5—had been formed.

Palworld’s momentum, however, might be muddied by legal threats from Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. The companies are suing for multiple violations of patent rights and are seeking an injunction and damages to be awarded. In response, Pocketpair also designated the patents in dispute and modified some mechanics, such as how players summon Pals in-game.

With these setbacks, the studio is still registering a resilient voice and has also evidently said it would fight back in court. With crossplay, modern storage and customization options – this latest batch of updates greatly improves the Palworld experience, allowing players to enjoy while the legal proceedings play out.
