The launch of Palworld is one that’s highly anticipated among gamers this year. Naturally, people are wondering just when they’re going to be able to start playing early access themselves. While the full, final version of the game isn’t complete, here’s how to play Palworld early access.
How to Play Early Access Palworld on Steam
If you’re looking forward to catching Pals of your own to start farming and/or fighting with, you’re in luck. To play Palworld in early access on Steam, all you have to do is go about getting the game the same as you would any other title on the game service.
To play Palworld on Steam, just navigate to the game’s Steam store page. Prior to Palworld’s launch, players can go and Wishlist the game on Steam. As soon as it’s ready, you can purchase and play it right from there. Once it’s fully available, you’ll be notified that it’s available and you can just buy it from the store for $30 USD.
Before you purchase the game, keep in mind the required hardware that’s going to be needed to run the game smoothly on your machine. The developers recommend a minimum of an i5-3570K CPU, 16 GB of RAM and at least a GTX 1050, but with a hefty recommended i9-9900K, 32 GB of RAM and a RTX 2070, it seems like the Xbox Series X is going to be where Palworld shines for performance.
How to Play Palworld Early Access on Xbox
It was confirmed in the Xbox release trailer for Palworld that the game is a Day One release for Game Pass, so it should be fairly simple to get into the game when the time comes. The download size on Steam lists Palworld as being around 40 GB. It’s safe to assume that the game won’t be much larger than that on Xbox.
It didn’t come up even as “Coming soon to Game Pass” when searched in the store on PC. There doesn’t appear to be a way to notify yourself of the game’s release like on Steam. However, like most Game Pass releases, on the day that Palworld drops, it should appear in the Game Pass library and Recently Added section, where you can download it.
That’s about all there is to know about how to play Palworld’s early access launch. There should be plenty to explore once the game releases on January 19. Make sure you’re ready with some of our other guides like how many Pals there are or the best starting Pals.
