Palworld, the captivating survival-crafting game developed by Pocketpair, has become a force to be reckoned with in the gaming community. With each passing milestone, its popularity surges, and the latest player data released by the developer only solidifies its stronghold in the gaming world. As of now, over 19 million players have embarked on their Palworld journey since its launch, with a staggering 12 million on Steam and approximately seven million on Xbox consoles.

Today, on February 1, Pocketpair unveiled a new update, marked as v0.1.4.0 on Steam and v0.1.1.3 on Xbox, signaling the team's unwavering commitment to enhancing the Palworld experience. This update, brimming with bug fixes and improvements, addresses several key issues that have been impacting players' enjoyment of the game.

One significant fix addresses a persistent issue where the game would crash, leading to corrupted save data, particularly when the guild's total number of pals captured reached around 7,000. Given the collaborative nature of Palworld's guilds, where players band together to progress in multiplayer, this fix comes as a relief to many.

However, for those who have already fallen victim to this issue prior to the update, the road to recovery may be challenging, as old saves remain inaccessible. Pocketpair, nonetheless, assures players that efforts are ongoing to rectify this issue permanently, prioritizing the restoration of affected data.

Additionally, the update tackles other pesky bugs, such as instances where players in co-op and dedicated servers experienced double damage and situations where Pals became trapped within bases. Furthermore, Pocketpair has implemented measures to deter cheating and prevent the theft of other players' Pals, building upon previous updates that fortified the game against exploits.

Despite the strides made in enhancing gameplay and resolving issues, Pocketpair remains committed to Palworld's evolution. A recently unveiled early-access roadmap offers a glimpse into the future, teasing upcoming additions such as PvP modes and formidable raid bosses, ensuring that players have much to anticipate as they continue their adventures in Palworld.

Here’s the full list of bug fixes:

▼Major Fixes

・Fixed an issue where the game would crash under certain conditions 

・Fixed an issue where if another player's pal/base pal had HP 30% or less, it could be captured by using a sphere. 

・Fixed an issue where enemy pals would get stuck in walls due to charge attacks.

Implemented the first fix for an issue where the game would always crash and save data would be corrupted when the guild's total number of pals captured reached around 7000.

*The game no longer crashes even if the total number of captured objects exceeds 7000.

However, save data that has already been in this state (in the case of a server, the server's world data) prior to this update will still be unable to load.
