PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 owners are undoubtedly curious if Palworld will be available on their Sony consoles any time soon.
Palworld’s early access launch period is active, so here’s a quick guide explaining everything we currently know about the platforms it can be played on and if a PlayStation release will happen in the foreseeable future.
Is Palworld coming to PlayStation?
Pocket Pair said it would “consider” a PlayStation port of Palworld during the RPG title’s early access development, with PlayStation keen to feature the title on PS consoles.
Thanks to the official Palworld Q&A on the game’s Discord, we learned about a potential PlayStation port before early access. “We don’t have plans for this at the moment, but we will consider it during development!” said Pocket Pair.
Since then, Palworld has achieved near-unimaginable success and defied all expectations. Palworld sold one million copies in just its first eight hours, four million copies in three days, and then had a combined eight million copies sold after six days. We’re also constantly monitoring to see how many copies it has sold.
One of PlayStation’s leading figures—Shuhei Yoshida—congratulated the Palworld team on Jan. 20 with a message on X (formerly Twitter). A user replied to Yoshida, asking, “Mr. Yoshida, please support SIE so that the PS5 version can be released as soon as possible!” Yoshida had an interesting response: “Yes.”
The pieces have been laid out on the table, and the stage is set. All it needs now is for Pocket Pair to deliver a much-anticipated and sought-after Palworld port on PlayStation.
It’s been a common trend for Pocket Pair to skip PlayStation for releases. Craftopia only came to Microsoft-owned systems. Ideally, any PlayStation port will also sport crossplay since Pocket Pair has plans to incorporate it in the Xbox and PC versions.
With the success of Palworld, when and if Pocket Pair and PlayStation partner up for a release on Sony platforms, it’s safe to assume such a high-profile title would appear in PlayStation’s State of Plays and Showcases through the year. Stay tuned to PlayStation and Pocket Pair’s X accounts, Discords, and blogs for all the info about Palworld on Sony’s platforms.
We will continue to update this guide if any further details are announced from Pocket Pair regarding the possibility of a PlayStation release.
