Huge Palworld Update Adds Cross-Play, Photo Mode, And New Pal Storage

A massive new update has arrived to Palworld. Update v0.5.0 adds the long-awaited cross-play functionality, photo mode, new storage options, blueprint upgrading, and additional features. Smaller bug fixes are also included in the update.

Palworld's cross-play is available across all platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, and Mac. Additionally, the update adds dedicated servers for Mac. Developer Pocketpair confirmed that dedicated servers are still currently unavailable on the PS5 version of the game, but says it's working on adding support for them.

Players can now transfer Pals between worlds. The update's addition of the Global Palbox lets players store Pal data and transfer Pals between worlds. Pal storage has also increased with the new Dimensional Pal Storage, which offers a new storage system with 10x the capacity of the regular Palbox.

The update gives players the ability to get more creative with their screenshots. Version v0.5.0 includes a photo mode. This option is accessible from the Pal Command Wheel, and it lets players hide the UI and move the camera around to help capture the perfect shot.

Other additions include a new Drafting Table for upgrading blueprints, and the ability to cosmetically change a player's armor appearance without affecting armor stats. More details on the update can be found in Palworld patch notes shared on Twitter and below.

As Palworld continues to grow, the game remains in legal trouble over its similarity to Nintendo's long-running Pokemon franchise. A Palword developer has spoken out on the lawsuit, calling the action a "very depressing day."
