If you’re among the millions of people that are already playing Palworld, you may have noticed that the developer has pushed out an update in the days since launching the game into early access.
This follows the news that the Xbox Game Pass and Steam versions of the games are not actually identical (hats off to Windows Central for breaking that story, which the developers addressed already on the game’s Discord).
But still, versions aside, players will want to know what’s changed in the latest Palworld update. Read on for the full patch notes!
