Palworld is a huge success across both Steam and Xbox platforms. Developed by Pocketpair, the game redefines creature-collection and survival simulation with intriguing gameplay. With many millions of players rushing to play the game, you may be wondering whether PC players can play with their Xbox owning friends. So, does Palworld support cross-platform multiplayer?

Palworld is set in a vibrant open-world environment, known as the Palpagos Islands. Players are able to capture adorable creatures called ‘Pals’, each with their own unique skills. The game offers a unique blend of creature management, exploration, and survival.

At the core of Palworld is the concept of Pals being not only companions but also valuable assets. Players will engage in farming, resource gathering, and crafting while enlisting the help of their Pals to aid in various tasks. These tasks range from tending to crops and livestock to participating in dynamic battles against formidable foes.
