Fans of Palworld want to know whether the game is expected to launch on PS5. So, here’s the definitive answer to “Is Palworld coming to PS5?”

Palworld has been breaking records ever since its launch on January 19, 2024. It is arguably one of the biggest games in 2024 so far, taking the top spot in Steam’s top-selling games at the time of writing. With more than 19 million players on Xbox and Steam, many fans are wondering when the game is going to launch on other platforms, most notably the PS5. And that is what we will be discussing in this article! Here’s the definitive answer to the question “Is Palworld coming to PS5?”

Is Palworld Coming to PS5 Anytime Soon?

Yes, Palworld will eventually come to PS5. However, you shouldn’t get your hopes up and expect the game to drop on the console anytime soon. This is primarily due to the game being in early access. As a result, the game was first released on just Xbox and PC, with plans to release on more platforms when the game comes out of its early access period.

All hope is not lost for an early port though. Shuhei Yoshida, one of PlayStation’s top brass, took to X and congratulated Palworld’s dev team on January 20. When a fan asked him whether PlayStation would help the Palworld team port the game faster to the PS5, Yoshida responded with a resounding “yes”. So, fingers crossed for next year!

Is there an Official Announcement for Palworld Coming to PS5?

No, there hasn’t been any official announcement for Palworld coming to PlayStation consoles, unfortunately. The devs have stated that the game will remain in early access for one year. And given PlayStation’s policy on not letting early access games into their store, fans shouldn’t expect the game to come to the platform this year.

That’s not a bad thing though. It means by the time that Palworld is finally released on the PS5, players won’t have to worry about any of the bugs or issues that are usually prevalent in early-access games. But if the wait seems too excruciating for you, there are plenty of similar games like Palworld that you can try to get your fix.

Will Palworld Come to Other Platforms As Well?

It is difficult to say if Palworld will come to other platforms at the time. While we can make an educated guess that the game will eventually see a port to the PS5, the same cannot be said about other consoles or platforms.

Since Palworld is available on Xbox One, we can assume that the game can be played on last-gen hardware. So, we are hopeful that PS4 players will also be able to play the game when it eventually comes to PlayStation.

Unfortunately, we cannot say the same thing for the Nintendo Switch. Palworld runs on Unreal Engine 5, which can be quite demanding for the Switch. However, with the rumored launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 this year, we can hope that the game will eventually be ported to Nintendo’s next-gen console.

As for Mac users, the game is not officially available on the platform. But fret not, there is a workaround to getting the game running on Mac computers. For instance, you can use a program called CrossOver and then install Steam after launching it. This should enable you to download and play Palworld on your Mac device.
