Palworld On Game Pass Getting Dedicated Servers And Other Optimizations
The “Pokemon with guns” game Palworld is set to see improvements for the Game Pass version. Microsoft has announced that it will work with developer Pocketpair to “provide support” for the Game Pass versions of Palworld. But what does that mean?
Microsoft said it will help Pocketpair in enabling dedicated servers–a feature found in the Steam edition but not on Game Pass currently–as well as through offering “engineering resources” to help Pocketpair conduct optimization for GPU and memory. Additionally, Microsoft said it will work with Pocketpair to increase the speed of update releases to the game, and in general working alongside the studio to “optimize” Palworld for Game Pass.
As we reported previously, the Game Pass version of Palworld isn’t the same as the Steam version, as is only has support for 2-4 players, no dedicated servers, and bugs and issues that are not apparent in the Steam version. Pocketpair has said Palworld for Steam and Game Pass are to be understood as two different versions of the game, at least until dedicated servers come to console.
