The Palworld Arena, an arena-type PvP mode, has been announced for 2024! This will likely be implemented during the big summer 2024 update. In this mode, players and three of their Pals can work together to fight another player and their team.
This mode could possibly even give time limited rewards and player ranking systems to improve player retention!
Arena Guide: How to Start PVP
Based on the roadmap, another PvP mode is expected to come in a future version of the game! This mode could work similar to how games like Fortnite and other survival shooter games where you're expected to build structures and catch Pals to protect yourself and be the last player standing!Palworld Multiplayer Guide
Pocketpair has also announced Raids where the Boss Pal would have an inflated HP Pool and will be expected to connect to other players in order to take it down.
This has been implemented in version 0.2.0.6, which introduces Bellanoir and Bellanoir Libero as the game's first Raid Bosses. To battle a Raid Boss, you must build the Summoning Altar structure at your base, and summon the Raid Boss you want to fight using their respective Slab.
All Post Game Raid Bosses
Crossplay is only available for players with the same distribution service even if they are on different consoles. This means that a PC player can visit an Xbox's player's world as long as both are on Game Pass.
However, at the moment, those playing on Steam cannot play with those on Game Pass. A future update could mean that players on Steam can finally play Palworld with friends on Xbox!
Does Palworld Have Crossplay?
Palworld currently does not allow the direct transfer of single-player characters to multiplayer servers. You can only do so when playing as a Host, where you will be able to switch between single-player and multiplayer.
This allows you to keep your progress from single-player, while being able to invite others to play in your world. However, with modes like raids and PvP, it could be possible that players can progress on an easier world in order to efficiently build for future meta.
Transferring Characters
An improvement to the building system has been implemented in version 0.2.0.6 where placement rules have become more relaxed. Starting from this update, you can now connect stairs facing upwards, roof pieces can be connected to foundations, and triangular walls can be connected to stairs.
Other base improvements such as being able to assign tasks at the Monitoring Stand have also been implemented.
While these are significant improvements, there may yet be more building system improvements on the way.
List of Best Pals for Handiwork
Currently, the only island we are able to explore is the current Palpagos Island. Future content will provide us with more Pals, items, and even landscapes for Players to fully immerse themselves into!
Palworld Interactive Map
After the addition of Bellanoir, we have a total of 112 unique species of Pals available in-game. Future content may include even more Pals coming like the previously announced Boltmane and Dragostrophe!
New Pals Upcoming in Palworld
We currently have 50 Levels worth of Technology that we can unlock in-game and more is set to release.
A lot of new Ancient Technology was added in the version 0.2.0.6 update as well as new items, but even more is expected to be added in future updates.
List of New Technology
Currently, there are five (5) tower bosses to defeat. But Pocketpair has announced via Palworld's official Twitter account that more tower bosses are planned in future updates.

Due to an unknown bug, Players have noticed that their respective worlds aren't properly logging how many in-game days have passed since they started the game. A fix is expected in a future update.List of Palworld Bugs and Error Codes and How to Fix
However, some players have been reporting of the Loading Screen getting stuck and getting them into very long or even unresponsive loading screens.
This is similar to a bug found when Palworld released where the game launches on a black screen and becomes unresponsive, which the developers have acknowledged and have fixed. Palworld Black Screen on Launch Bug Fix
The Pal Pathfinding Bug disorients a Pal's pathfinding protocol, which interrupts it from performing any autonomous Base Tasks or even going to a feed box to eat.
The Pal Pathfinding Bug can also cause Pals to “clip” into certain environmental objects, which traps them in certain corners or stops them from moving completely.Pal Pathfinding Bug Fix
Other improvements to the game are also planned for future Versions of the game, to improve including key configuration improvements and Base Pal AI and Pathfinding!
Something a lot of players are expecting are improvements to certain issues in the game like Pals dropping tasks they're in the middle of or even overworld level scaling.Best Base Pals
As of writing, Palworld can only be played via early access. With all the bugs and other improvements they need to work on, it's possible that it might take them 1 full year to release the full game.
Having said this, we can expect the full game to release by 2025.
