By Sagar V. Mankar Developer Pocketpair has just released a brand new update for the quirky monster-collecting survival game, specifically targeting the Xbox version.
The patch notes for the latest Palworld update on Xbox are vague, simply mentioning “fixed some issues which negatively affected game stability.“
Since Palworld’s early access launch, the Xbox port has struggled with technical problems not seen as frequently on PC.
Crashes have been commonplace, often completely halting progress mid-session.
One of the most frustrating Palworld issues is when Pals refuse to help out, standing idle during a fight.
For a game all about training, customizing, and bonding with monster pals, non-responsive AI eliminates a core gameplay pillar!
Quitting and restarting can temporarily fix unresponsive pals, but this wastes precious time.
While not confirmed, Xbox players are hopeful this patch improves pal responsiveness.
This update could potentially fix:
- The game crashes or freezes
- Pals not attacking enemies or gathering resources
- Other stability problems
However, the only way to know for sure what got fixed is to test out the new update yourself.
What’s Different in the Xbox Version?
Compared to Palworld’s Steam release, the Xbox port has key differences under the hood.
The Xbox capped multiplayer at 4 players per world, versus 32 on Steam.
Xbox also lacks Palworld’s dedicated servers, relying on peer-to-peer instead.
These limitations likely contribute to the Xbox version’s technical shortcomings.
While Pocketpair keeps the Xbox and PC versions largely aligned content-wise with simultaneous updates, the Xbox port continues playing catch-up on technical performance and features.
Closing that gap is essential to provide Xbox gamers the same Palworld experience as PC.
What’s Next for Palworld?
Looking ahead, Palworld’s development roadmap includes massive additions like PvP, raids, and new biomes.
Combined with continued stabilization and quality-of-life tweaks, Palworld has a bright future on both Xbox and PC.
Despite launching in early access just months ago, Palworld already topped over 2 million sales across platforms.
Player numbers remain high, proving its quirky monster antics provide endless fun and creativity.
With Pocketpair’s steady update pace, Palworld shows no signs of losing momentum any time soon!
