Palworld Release Date Announced
Palworld’s release date has been officially announced by Pocketpair. The open-world survival and crafting game is preparing to launch its full version after a long early access period. Growing with the support of millions of players, the game also opened the door to an even bigger adventure in the Palpagos Islands with its new cinematic trailer released at Summer Game Fest 2026.
Palworld Release Date and Platforms
According to Pocketpair’s announcement, Palworld will exit early access on July 10, 2026, and will launch with version 1.0. The game will continue to be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. The game was first released in early access on January 19, 2024, for Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC, and then came to PlayStation 5 on September 24, 2024.
The new 1.0 update for Palworld won’t just be a technical transition to a full release. The new cinematic trailer shown at Summer Game Fest 2026 hints at a broader experience with unexplored areas, new Pal types, and snippets of the story getting closer to the great mystery behind the world. Pocketpair aims to deliver a deeper, more developed, and more complete Palworld to players with the full launch.
Throughout early access, the game received numerous updates and was shaped by community feedback. Players established their own systems on the Palpagos Islands through base building, resource gathering, Pal capture, combat, and crafting. With version 1.0, this structure is expected to become more settled, comprehensive, and story-driven.
Before the full release, Palworld is on sale on Steam for a limited time with a 25% discount. This campaign offers a good opportunity for those who want to start playing before the 1.0 update arrives. Palworld is preparing for one of the most significant launches in the open-world survival genre, leaving early access behind on July 10th.
