Is Palworld on Game Pass

Has Palworld joined Game Pass? Here is the simplest, most direct answer: yes, Palworld is on Game Pass. You can install Palworld with Xbox Game Pass on console, and Palworld with PC Game Pass on Windows through the Xbox app. Availability, plan names, and regional entitlements can change, so treat the current store page badge as the final word.

But you might also want to learn more about the Game Pass version of Palworld — how to install Palworld on Game Pass, how it differs from the Steam version, whether it supports cross-platform play, and how to ensure smooth co-op gameplay. This article will explain all of that in detail.

Palworld Game Pass: What You Get on PC vs. Xbox?

On PC Game Pass, Palworld installs from the Xbox app and plays like any other PC Game Pass title. On Xbox Game Pass for console, you grab Palworld from the Microsoft Store and it shows an "Included with Game Pass" badge if your subscription covers it. If you see a purchase button instead, you’re either signed into the wrong account, your plan doesn’t include console/PC access, or regional availability has shifted.

Takeaway: for most players the "is Palworld on Game Pass" question reduces to “does my current plan cover this device.” If in doubt, open the Palworld listing while signed in and check the badge before troubleshooting anything else.

Palworld Game Pass vs. Steam

• Patch cadence and modding: historically, Palworld on Steam tended to receive hotfixes quickly and remains the easiest route for community tools and mods. Palworld on Game Pass follows Microsoft’s pipeline, which can add a little delay or extra verification. If modding and the fastest patch windows matter to you, Steam usually wins.
• Cost of entry: if you already subscribe, Palworld with Game Pass is the lowest friction way to play, especially for squads that live in the Xbox ecosystem.

Palworld Cross-Play on Game Pass

Yes. Palworld cross-play on Game Pass and Steam is supported. The host toggles cross-play in game settings, then sends in-game invites. For mixed groups, the most stable host is the player on Ethernet with a quiet upstream. If your party spans regions or networks, always test a quick five-minute roam before committing to a long raid.

Palworld Game Pass FAQ

Q1: Will Game Pass cloud gaming work for Palworld?

Cloud availability can vary by region and plan. If cloud is important, check the Palworld store page while signed in and look for a cloud-play label that day.

Q2: Do I need a specific Game Pass tier?

Plan names and benefits change over time and can differ by region. The store page for Palworld will tell you if your current tier includes it on your device.

Q4: Can I migrate saves between Steam and Game Pass?

Treat saves as storefront-specific unless official tools say otherwise. If cross-progression appears in patch notes later, follow the official instructions precisely.
