About Palworld 1.0
Palworld 1.0 is the full release of Pocketpair's breakout open-world survival game, the "creature-collecting with guns" phenomenon that sold millions within days of its early-access debut in January 2024. After more than two years of updates, the studio shipped version 1.0 on July 10, 2026, billing it as the biggest update in the game's history and the moment Palworld officially leaves early access.
The 1.0 update is set to roughly double the size of the world, adding a major new region built around a towering World Tree plus a second large island, along with new Pals to catch, fresh story content and the systems players have been waiting on since launch. Palworld blends base-building, crafting, automation and survival combat with monster collection, and the full release lands simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox.
Palworld 1.0 arrived on July 10, 2026, taking the game out of early access and into its full release.
