The same applies if you are joining someone else\u2019s world.<\/p> <h3><b>Palworld dedicated servers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>\u2018Pok\u00e9mon with guns\u2019 deserves more than just a paltry few people to get together, though, as proper mayhem is in order.<\/p>\n<p>Pocketpair has confirmed that you can set up your own dedicated server that can host up to 32 players.<\/p>\n<p>Pocketpair said in its <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/1623730?emclan=103582791470193170&amp;emgid=3943530908925344453\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official FAQ<\/a> on Steam that it \u201cwill provide the tools to create these servers yourself at launch\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, but we\u2019ll be able to create guilds, too.
