Palworld multiplayer is a big part of the sales pitch, with players able to play with friends and collaborate in PvE exploring, battling and base building. Still, with all the balancing of servers, crossplay and more besides, the actual process by which you play with friends isn't necessarily clear. With that in mind, I can explain how multiplayer in Palworld works below, and how you can invite and join friends together.
Palworld's Multiplayer explained
To play Palworld multiplayer with up to three other friends online, players need to do the following:
- One player creates a world and sets it to multiplayer, either during world creation or in "World Settings" before re-entering.
- The player can then pause the game and click to reveal the Invite Code in the pause menu.
- Share this code to other players who wish to join.
- For those joining players, in the main menu there'll be an option to "Join Multiplayer Game (Invite Code).
- Select this and enter the code your friend gave you to join their game!
It's important to remember that at time of writing, there is no Palworld crossplay capabilities, so crossplay between Steam and Xbox won't be possible. Still, that is promised to come in the future, so keep an ear out!
For those who want to more emphatically set their own multiplayer experience, you should set up a Palworld dedicated server - and we have a guide on how to do just that here!
