Palworld will receive its biggest update yet at the end of March

Get ready, Pals trainer! Pocketpair has just announced what promises to be the biggest and most important Palworld update yet, scheduled for late March 2025. And yes, finally the long-awaited full cross-play between platforms will become a reality, allowing players from Steam, Xbox, PS5, and Mac to play together, without system restrictions.

In addition to cross-play, the update will bring another feature that has been highly requested by the community: the ability to transfer your Pals between different worlds. This will give players unprecedented freedom to manage their favorite monsters, no longer limited to keeping them stuck on a single server or world.

"This update will implement multiplayer mode between different platforms and the ability to move Pals between worlds. Crossplay is supported across all currently released platforms, including Steam, Xbox, PS5, and Mac. Enjoy crossplay with your family and friends!", officially announced Pocketpair in a statement.

What's coming with the March update?

• Total cross-play between Steam, Xbox, PS5, and Mac.
• Free transfer of Pals between worlds, increasing gameplay flexibility.
• First steps to close the main narrative arc, with a promise of a final boss and a conclusion to the current story.
• New content part of the official 2025 roadmap.

But it doesn't stop there: the future of Palworld in 2025

Pocketpair confirmed that this update is part of a larger plan for the year, which includes:

• New Pals to capture and battle.
• New technologies to expand the base of creations and defenses.
• General optimization improvements, promising a smoother experience.
• Collaborations with other successful franchises, like Terraria, as mentioned in previous announcements.
• Completion of the main campaign with an epic boss and additional context, without ending game support, according to the developer: "Although this content concludes the current story, it does not represent the end of Palworld's production."
   

It's worth remembering that Palworld was one of the biggest phenomena of 2024, with millions of simultaneous players at launch and an absolute highlight on Steam and Xbox Game Pass lists. The game became known as "Pokémon with guns," but went far beyond that by offering open-world exploration, intense combat, crafting, and base management, creating an addictive ecosystem that quickly gained a global fan base.

Therefore, these new features come at a great time, especially with the public demanding updates, optimizations, and an official way to connect players from different platforms — something that will now become a reality.

And the future? Will it end there?

The good news is no. Despite ending the main narrative with the new boss, Pocketpair ensured that new content, seasonal events, and updates can still come after 2025. Considering the game's tremendous success, it is very likely that we will see new biomes, creatures, and even expansions in the coming years.

Stay tuned: the update will be released at the end of March 2025, but detailed information is expected to be revealed in the coming weeks. In the meantime, you can start thinking about which Pals you will transfer to the new worlds — or which friend from PS5 will finally be able to play with you on Xbox.
