So, is Palworld cross platform ? Yes, Palworld is cross platform. Since March 2025, the game supports crossplay between PC, Xbox (including Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One), and PS5.
In this article, we will explain what platforms are able to play together, and what you can do to easily play with your friends.
PC and Xbox crossplay
By default, Palworld allows crossplay between PC and Xbox players. So if you are playing on PC, you can join your friends who are playing on Xbox, and vice versa. If you are the one on Xbox, the game uses Xbox Live to play online, so you will need an Xbox account to play with your friends.
How to Enable Cross Platform
To enable crossplay in Palworld, you need to follow these steps:
- Make sure you have linked your Xbox account to your game.
- In the main menu, click on "Multiplayer".
- Choose "Join Game" to join a friend's world, or "Host Game" to create your own.
- If you are hosting, set your world settings and share the invite code with your friends.
Anyway, the best way to play with friends is to create a Palworld server. This allows your friends to join your world even when you are offline.

Palworld is now available on PS5, but not on PS4. Since March 2025, you can play with your friends on PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC thanks to the crossplay update.
Nintendo Switch Support
Unfortunately, Palworld is not available on Nintendo Switch. We don't think it will ever be available on nintendo, since Nintendo owns Pokemon. This means you can't play the game on any Nintendo console. And for now, the developers haven't announced any plans for a Switch release.
Mobile Support
Palworld is not available on mobile devices. This means you can't play with friends on your phone. There is currently no information on when or if Palworld will come to mobile platforms.
Same Platform Multiplayer
Playing on the same platform is the easiest way to play together. If all the players are on PC or all on Xbox, you can join each other's world without any extra setup. All you have to do is to make sure you are all using the same version of the game.
Using a hosting platform like AxentHost gives you many benefits. Your world stays online 24/7 even if you aren't available. This way, your friends can join anytime to collect resources, build the base, or fight Pals together.
Conclusion
Palworld's new crossplay update has made it much easier to play with friends on different platforms. Since this update in March 2025, the game supports crossplay between PC, Xbox, and PS5 by default.
But still, the best way to play together is to create a dedicated Palworld server. It makes you and your friends able to play on the same world without having one specific friend to be online.
