Overview
- Palworld is set to leave early access with a 1.0 update on July 10, a release Pocketpair says will restructure progression, add new areas and Pals, and change core game systems.
- Pocketpair produced an unusually large 1.0 patch document that exceeded Steam's post limit and was later posted in full after the problem was fixed.
- The studio warns that simply disabling mods is not enough and instructs players to back up saves, unsubscribe Workshop items, delete Pal\Binaries\Win64 and Pal\Content\Paks, and verify game files before updating.
- Players are told to reinstall mods only after mod creators confirm 1.0 compatibility and to test mods one at a time because issues caused by modified game data will not be supported by Pocketpair.
- Pocketpair said it will keep Palworld priced at $29.99 as it exits early access, and the scale of the 1.0 changes has prompted players to treat the update as effectively a major relaunch that may require fresh saves and careful testing.
