Pocketpair expansion FAQ: what changes for players

Pocketpair's expansion adds new Palworld games and a publishing label without ending support for the main game; the spin-offs are separate purchases with separate saves, and only first-party announcements should be treated as confirmed.

  • Does publishing distract from Palworld?

Is Palworld finished?

No. Reaching 1.0 did not end development, and the studio is planning the franchise's future in parallel with ongoing updates.

Do I need to buy the spin-offs?

No. Palfarm and Palworld Online are standalone products; the main game stands alone.

Will progress carry across games?

No cross-progression has been announced for any Palworld title.

Does publishing distract from Palworld?

Pocketpair Publishing funds external developers rather than diverting the Palworld team to third-party games.
