Who knew 2024 would be a big year for the survival game genre? We’re getting a bunch of games that you and your friends can get immersed in and create a unique world. However, of all of them, Palworld stands out the most. Palworld has been the talk of the town for a hot minute, and we’ll show you how to play it early.
Palworld: How to play early
So I got some bad news for you. Unless you’re a streamer or content creator in the gaming world, there’s no way to play the Pokemon clone early. This means you’ll have to wait till the game goes into Early Access to the public on January 19th. As of now if you’re planning on playing the game on Steam, you can wishlist it till the game comes out. It should be noted that Paleworld isn’t free to play on Steam and will cost $29.99 for the Early Access.
However, Palworld is also dropping on the Xbox consoles. Because of that, it will be included in Game Pass according to a Tweet by Xbox. The best part is that you won’t need to pay any additional charges for Game Pass.
Is there an end date for Early Access
According to the developers of the game, Pocketpair, Early Access to Palworld should be at least a year. During this time you can be expected to get hit with many game-breaking bugs as this build isn’t the full release. On the other hand, Early Access to other games sometimes go beyond their extended period. I wouldn’t be surprised if Pocketpair decides to move up the end date. Since Palworld is an open world with coop mechanics, that can cause more headaches for the developers. Making the Early Access last longer can be a good idea since it can help the developers iron out those bugs.
While you can’t play Palworld early unless you’re a big game Streamer, you may be able to preload it. Find out how here, and how big the open-world game is.
