What Palworld Version to Choose?
When choosing between the Steam and Xbox Game Pass versions, you must decide the number of your friends and lobby in multiplayer.

On the other hand, you can choose the Xbox Game Pass version if the total number of players is less than five.
It’s worth noting that the Steam version receives the latest patches faster than the Game Pass. But if you already own the Xbox Game Pass or PC Pass, the latter is a better option. So, we leave the rest of the decision to you.
