About the Palworld Games
Palworld has officially exited Early Access with the release of its extensive Version 1.0 update. The game that took the world by storm has completely transformed, bringing a wave of new content that has brought nearly one million players rushing back to Steam.
With over 40 million players already in its universe, Pocketpair is pushing the franchise into the future. From floating sky islands to an upcoming mobile game and a real-world trading card game, here is everything you need to know about the massive new era of Palworld.
The Massive Version 1.0 Update: What’s New?
The full release is not just a simple patch. It is a total overhaul. The update comes with a massive list of changes that completely shifts how the game feels.
New Horizons: The World Tree and Sunreach
Players can finally cross the ocean and explore the mysterious World Tree. Alongside this legendary area comes Sunreach, a breathtaking new biome made of islands floating high in the sky.
Flying, Building, and Customization
Tired of standard mounts? A new late-game Wing Pack now gives you total freedom to fly vertically through the skies. The base-building feature has been significantly enhanced, introducing offshore water dynamics along with a much-anticipated base-painting system that allows you to personalize your home.
More Pals and Higher Level Caps
The update adds 72 brand-new Pals, pushing the total number of catchable creatures to 287. To help you handle these new threats, the player level cap has been pushed up to 80. You can also make your existing Pals stronger than ever using two new mechanics: Awakening and Mutation.
Fresh Gear and Fresh Starts
The update packs a punch with 13 new weapons and 44 accessories. It also introduces experimental PvP modes and official Steam Workshop mod support. While your old save files will still work, the developers highly recommend starting a fresh character to experience the completely rewritten story mode.
Palworld Is Coming to Mobile
The Palworld universe is growing beyond just PCs and consoles. A massive mobile spin-off titled Palworld Online has just been officially announced.
Pocketpair has partnered with mobile gaming giant Garena to build this new game from scratch for iOS and Android. Instead of a basic port, Palworld Online will be a full multiplayer online survival game. It will feature a seamless open world, mobile-friendly touch controls for building, and exclusive storylines tailored for mobile players. The game is scheduled to launch later this year.

Enter the Tabletop: The Official Card Game
If you prefer physical gaming, Palworld has you covered. In partnership with Bushiroad, the Palworld Official Card Game has officially hit shelves.
This tabletop trading card game lets two players face off using five distinct card types: Pals, Buildings, Gear, Events, and Souls. It perfectly translates the base-building and resource management of the video game into a physical card format. The launch has already sparked huge hype among collectors and tabletop fans alike.
