Palworld multiplayer allows you to join friends online for co-op and explore the world together, with players teaming up to bring down bosses and join each others' worlds. With so many players playing the game, Palworld utilizes a code focused system for online multiplayers, as we'll explain in our guide below. Here's how to join friends and team up in Palworld properly.

How to play Palworld with friends in online multiplayer

To play Palworld multiplayer with up to three other friends online, players need to do the following:

  1. One player creates a world in Palworld and sets it to multiplayer, either during world creation or in "World Settings" before re-entering.
  2. The player can then pause the game and click to reveal the Invite Code in the pause menu.
  3. Share this code to other players who wish to join.
  4. For those joining players, in the main menu there'll be an option to "Join Multiplayer Game (Invite Code).
  5. Select this and enter the code your friend gave you to join their game!

Guides Editor, GamesRadar+

Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and Very Tired Man with a BA from Brunel University, a Masters from Sussex University and a decade working in games journalism, often focused on guides coverage but also in reviews, features and news. His love of games is strongest when it comes to groundbreaking narratives like Disco Elysium, UnderTale and Baldur's Gate 3, as well as innovative or refined gameplay experiences like XCOM, Sifu, Arkham Asylum or Slay the Spire. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe. You can find old work of his at Eurogamer, Gfinity, USgamer, SFX Magazine, RPS, Dicebreaker, VG247, and more.
