Can you play Palworld on Xbox 360?

Can you play Palworld on Steam Deck?

Yes, the Steam Deck can play Palworld, although you may need to turn your graphics settings down slightly for better performance and increased battery life while playing.

What consoles will Palworld be on in the future?

With the current success of Palworld on PC and Xbox, it’s like a logical next step to release the game on other platforms such as the PS5 or the Nintendo Switch. Developer Pocketpair has stated via its official Discord server that the company “doesn’t have plans for this at the moment, but will consider it during development”.

Will Palworld be on PlayStation?

With Palworld being a day-one Xbox Game Pass exclusive, it seems unlikely that we’ll see a PlayStation release anytime soon. However, there is currently also no exclusivity deal set in stone, so we may end up seeing a PlayStation release after some time has passed.

Will Palworld be on Nintendo Switch?

As for the Nintendo Switch, it seems unlikely that Palworld will be released on the platform. Primarily because Palworld is quite a demanding game and may have trouble running on Switch hardware. Secondly, a release on the Nintendo Switch could be somewhat troublesome as Palworld bears several striking similarities to the mainline Pokémon games, which are currently exclusively available on the Nintendo Switch.

So, to summarize, Palworld is currently available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and mobile devices (through Xbox Cloud Gaming). The game can be bought and played via Steam, the Microsoft Store, and Xbox Game Pass. There are currently no plans to release the game on other platforms, such as the PS5 or the Nintendo Switch. However, developer Pocketpair has confirmed that releases on other platforms will be considered during development.
