Palworld is already one of 2024’s biggest surprise hits, and it’s easy to see why. The mix of survival elements with Pokemon-style monster catching is truly bizarre. Yet it’s somehow as captivating in practice as it is in theory. So, if you own a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, can you get in on this off-brand monster catching action?
Unfortunately, Palworld is a PC and Xbox exclusive title for now. Aspiring players can grab it on Steam, and Game Pass subscribers can access it right now too. Just note that, as of writing, the Game Pass version of the game is a bit behind the Steam version.

Is Palworld coming to PS5?
A PlayStation 5 version of Palworld isn’t on the horizon for now. That said, Palworld could come to PS5 in the future. In the official launch FAQ, developer Pocketpair noted that, while they “don’t have plans for [A PS5 version of Palworld] at the moment,” they will “consider it during development.”
This is like due to the fact that Palworld is currently in Early Access as of writing. That is to say, Pocketpair released it in an unfinished state so players can, ideally, provide feedback as the game grows. It’s very rare for games in Early Access to see ports on other consoles, so don’t expect Palworld to pop up on PS5 anytime soon. However, if the game continues the incredible success it’s seen since launch, there’s a solid chance it will grace Sony’s console in the future.
