Does Palworld have servers? Is multiplayer working for Palworld?

Palworld is a multiplayer, open-world survival and crafting game developed by Pocketpair. The game was released on January 19, 2024, on Steam and Xbox Series X|S consoles.

Palworld’s co-op multiplayer mode allows you to team up with three other players in a world. However, if you opt for a dedicated server, you can team up with up to 31 other players.

Developer Pocketpair maintains a number of its own dedicated servers, but you have the option of hosting your own, too. Here’s how to get your own private (or public) Palworld server up and running:

1. First, open up your Steam client.
2. Next, navigate to your Steam Library.
3. Once there, ensure “Tools” is checked in your Library search filter.
4. Then, type “Palworld” (no quotes) in the Steam Library search bar.
5. From the results, select Palworld Dedicated Server.
6. Next, install and launch Palworld Dedicated Server.
7. Then select “Play Palworld Dedicated Server” if you want to make a private server.
8. Alternatively, select “Open and start as a community server” if you want to make a publicly visible server.
9. Next, select the Play button.
10. After doing so, a black command prompt window should open, signaling that the server is live.

Keep in mind that you’ll need to keep this window open to keep the server running, so you might want to look into renting a server from a third-party site like G-Portal if you want one open 24/7.

Palworld’s multiplayer function doesn’t always work, and some players have reported issues with it. However, you can play with friends and join public servers.
