FULL STORY ======================================================================

Creature-collecting open-world survival game Palworld finally has an early access release date, and prospective players on PC (Steam) and Xbox Series X |S can look forward to diving in from next week.

Specifically, Palworld will be available to play from Friday, January 19.
Itll be added to Xbox Game Pass for Series X|S and PC on day one, and while crossplay wont be immediately accessible, a new Q&A post on the games Steam page reveals that we are working to make this a possibility as soon as possible!

Palworld , which is being developed and published by Pocketpair, was first revealed in 2021, and was immediately (unofficially) dubbed by many as
Pokmon with guns. Its not hard to see why the comparison to Pokmon was made given the creature capturing and collection mechanics, but the guns are certainly a large factor setting Palworld apart from the beloved role-playing franchise. In the trailers weve seen up to this point, its been shown that
not only can player characters fight wild creatures (Pals) with guns, but the Pals themselves can also be equipped with them.

Not only that, but players will be able to put their captured Pals to work to help them build bases - something which they dont seem thrilled about in the footage weve seen so far. Its been shown that if theyre worked too hard, they can actually die, which is genuinely rather harrowing. Oh, and you can eat them too. Theres a lot to unpack here.

For anyone on PlayStation 5 , Pocketpair confirmed that although there arent any plans as of yet to release Palworld on Sonys current-gen console, the
team will consider it during development.
