Palworld crossplay FAQ

Short answers to the crossplay questions players ask most: which platforms connect, whether saves move, and why an invite fails.

Updated for the current Palworld patch

Key takeaways
  • Is Palworld cross-platform?
  • Can PC and Xbox players play together?
  • Does Palworld have cross-progression?
  • Why can't my friend join my world?

Is Palworld cross-platform?

Yes for Steam PC and Xbox/Microsoft Store players, who can share the same world. PlayStation players should confirm the current in-game invite options for their build before planning a mixed party.

Can PC and Xbox players play together?

Yes. Both can join the same world using an invite code or a dedicated server address, provided every machine is on the same game version.

Does Palworld have cross-progression?

No. Characters and saves stay on the platform where they were created; there is no announced transfer between Steam, Xbox and PlayStation.

Why can't my friend join my world?

Almost always a version mismatch, an expired invite code, or the host sitting in the menu instead of the world. Update all builds, regenerate the code and retry.

What is the best way to keep a mixed group together?

A dedicated server. Everyone joins one address, the world stays online when the host logs off, and the player cap is far higher than a co-op session.
