Is Palworld coming to PS4 & PS5?

Gamers have been wondering whether Palworld will come to the PS4 and PS5, ever since the title launched in early access on January 19, 2024. Unfortunately, the upcoming survival crafting title is not currently available on Sony platforms at launch, with there being no news on whether they will see a PS release. This may change in the future based on Pocketpair's development schedule.

According to the official Discord server, Pocketpair has stated that it currently doesn't have plans to extend the game to PS4 or PS5 consoles but will "consider it during development." Thus, it may only be a matter of time until the game makes its way to the PS4 or PS5.

Which platforms is Palworld available on?

Palworld is currently available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. For PC, the game can be accessed either via Steam or the Xbox PC Game Pass if players have an active subscription. On Steam, you will require a digital purchase or a redemption code, while the PC Game Pass will offer the game as a day-one exclusive for all subscribers.

The fact that the title is available on Xbox Game Pass may indicate that Pocketpair worked out some form of publishing deal with Microsoft. This may explain why the game is unavailable on Sony consoles on the release date. However, since it is only entering early access, there's plenty of time for things to change.

Given that the game was a huge success at launch, it would stand to reason that the developers at Pocketpair would want to expand its availability to additional platforms. Branching out to the PS4 and PS5 would be a logical path to follow. Given that the game runs on Unreal Engine 5, it should be compatible with Sony platforms, or even the Nintendo Switch, for that matter.

Furthermore, Shuhei Yoshida (a Sony veteran and erstwhile SIE Worldwide Studios president) added fuel to the fire while commenting on a post on X. He congratulated the game on its historical launch.

A user responded to it by asking a PS5 version be released as soon as possible. Yoshida responded by saying "はい〜" (Google translates it to yes) and tagging a PlayStation developer. Whether this will lead to something in the immediate future remains to be seen.

Apart from the AI art controversy and Pokemon design similarities, the future looks bright for the survival crafting title, at least for now. Fans may want to keep an eye on Pocketpair's Discord server or official social media accounts for any announcements as the game heads to its initial launch.
