Overview
- Palworld 1.0 launched worldwide on Friday, July 10, 2026, moving the game out of early access on PC and consoles.
- Pocketpair published an unusually large 1.0 changelog that exceeded Steam’s post limit, running to tens of thousands of characters and dozens of pages.
- The update adds major content and systems changes, including 72 new Pals, the Sunreach floating islands, the World Tree story content, a higher level cap and broad combat and progression overhauls.
- The studio warned that installed legacy mods and leftover mod files can crash or corrupt saves and instructed players to manually delete specific mod folders, verify files, back up saves and consider starting new saves for the best experience.
- The launch produced a major player surge on Steam with concurrent counts in the hundreds of thousands, drew highly positive early reviews, and Pocketpair confirmed the price will remain $29.99.
