With Palworld’s release date nearing, players are excited to get their hands on this monster-catching survival game developed by Pocket Pair, Inc. With the title coming to Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series S|X, and Xbox One, there is some confusion among gamers about its price and whether Palworld will be a free game.
Is Palworld Free To Play?
No. Palworld is not a free-to-play game. You will need to buy the game once it releases, with the price set at $29.99 for the early access version.
For non-Game Pass players, price of the game remains the same for all the platforms. It is likely that this early access version price will go up once the full version of the game launches.
Is Palworld Coming To Game Pass
Yes, Palworld will be added to the Xbox Game Pass catalogue, meaning that Game Pass subscribers can essentially play Palworld for free. Palworld will be coming to Game Pass as a day-one offering, so subscribers can download and start playing the game in early access itself.
Palworld is expected to stay in early access for at least a year, according to the developer Pocket Pair. This will give players enough time to explore its massive list of Pals, and their reviews will help others decide whether the game is worth their time.
The hype around Palworld is surely increasing, especially since it seems to share many similarities with Pokémon games. That said, Palworld features a distinctly unique and somewhat darker world, where survival is just as challenging as locking horns against various pals and NPCs.
