Server model
The MMO runs a persistent shared world. PC Palworld runs small private or dedicated servers you control, including solo offline.
Content ownership
Mods, config-file rate tuning and community servers are PC-only strengths and are not promised on mobile.
Progression
No cross-progression has been announced. Treat Pals, gear and unlocks as living entirely in one game or the other.
Monetisation
Palworld PC is a one-off purchase. A licensed free-to-play mobile MMO typically monetises differently; no pricing model has been confirmed.
What transfers anyway
Your knowledge. Elemental matchups, capture-rate maths, breeding logic and Pal roles carry over — the Pal Stars database, damage calculator and breeding tools apply to both.
