Palworld crossplay is a feature that players have been anticipating since the game's launch on early access, and while there's a couple of caveats depending on the kind of server that you're trying to join, cross platform functionality is now fully in the game after post-launch updates as it was prepared for the 1.0 update. Below I'll explain the limitations of crossplay in Palworld so you know how you can play the game with, and why.
Does Palworld have crossplay and cross platform?
Palworld cross platform and crossplay functionality has been added an update in March 2025, with players on all platforms and consoles able to play with all other platforms and consoles. This is done through a crossplay "invite code" system, as laid out in our Palworld multiplayer guide. Now the invite codes extend across platforms and consoles, allowing you to play between PC, Xbox and PS5.
The one exception is that PS5 players cannot join Palworld dedicated servers at time of writing, owing to complex technical reasons that have yet to be overcome by either Palworld's developers or those on Sony's end. However, if you want to play in other friends' Palworld saved games, there shouldn't be anything limiting you at this point beyond a suitable internet connection.
