Palworld Xbox Version Faces Issues, Developers Release Updates

Despite updates, differences due to Xbox architecture and Microsoft's certification process continue to cause problems.

Palworld, a popular game that has sold over 4 million copies in just three days, has been experiencing issues on its Xbox and Microsoft Store versions, with players reporting bugs and missing features compared to the Steam version.
Developers have released updates to address some of these issues, including a black screen problem at launch, but have noted that the Xbox and Microsoft Store versions are fundamentally different due to the different architecture of the Xbox console.
The updates have not yet addressed the lack of dedicated servers for the Xbox and Microsoft Store versions, a more complex issue that the developers have said requires ongoing discussions with Microsoft.
Updates for the Xbox version are also delayed due to Microsoft's certification process, with the developers stating they are 'at the mercy of the certification' and are trying to speed up the process.
Despite these issues, the developers have expressed their goal to bring the Microsoft Store and Steam versions of the game into alignment, a feat they say won't be achievable until crossplay is fully compatible.
