Pocketpair announced during the Summer Game Fest 2026 that Palworld will officially exit Early Access on July 10, 2026. The popular survival adventure with Pals will then receive version 1.0, marking the end of one of the most successful Early Access periods in recent years.
Along with the release date, a new cinematic trailer was shown, announcing a bigger and more ambitious Palworld. The video showcases unexplored areas, new Pals, and fragments of a broader story that aims to further clarify the mysteries of the world. Pocketpair states that version 1.0 represents a deeper, more developed, and final Palworld experience.
Palworld was first launched in Early Access in January 2024 for PC and Xbox consoles, and later it also arrived on PlayStation 5. The game quickly became a major hit thanks to its combination of open-world survival mechanics, creature collecting, base building, crafting equipment, and combat where Pals can assist players in various ways.
