Palworld, one of the biggest sales sensations of 2024, finally launched in version 1.0 on July 10, 2026, with a simultaneous release on PC, Xbox consoles and PS5. Millions of players around the world can enjoy this survival experience and, since the game places a particular emphasis on multiplayer, it's only natural to wonder before diving in whether it supports crossplay (also known as cross-platform play).
In other words, can you play Palworld with friends on different platforms, or is that impossible? If you want to know all the details about crossplay in Palworld, we'll explain everything in this section of our guide.
Thanks to cross-platform play, you can play Palworld across PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One and PS5 without any problems—in other words, across every platform on which the game is currently available. Crossplay is also supported if you play the PC version through Steam.
Palworld's crossplay support was initially more limited, as it was only available between PC and Xbox through the Game Pass version of the game. Fortunately, this restriction is no longer an issue, and all players can now join one another's games and create multiplayer sessions regardless of which platform they use to play Pocketpair's title.
Crossplay should already be enabled by default on every platform. In any case, you can always open the options and settings menu to check for yourself and enable it if necessary.
