As a prerequisite, readers should ensure that both parties are present in the same multiplayer world. Players set in two separate servers cannot exchange Pals as of now. Additionally, it is also not possible to trade Pals between PC and Xbox servers, as Palworld lacks crossplay support.

Keeping the above limitations in mind, readers can refer to the steps below in order to proceed:

• Make sure that both parties are online and in close proximity to each other in-game.
• The Pal you wish to trade must be in your current Party. Launch the Party menu and choose the Pal you wish to exchange.
• Drop the Pal from your Party (R key on PC).
• Accept the pop-up warning to proceed.
• Players nearby can now pick up the Pal Sphere containing your Pal.
• Have them repeat the steps above if you wish to grab their Pals instead.

As always, make sure to exchange Pals with someone you trust. Take necessary precautions in order to avoid being scammed.
