Monster collecting games are hugely popular, and the newest game to provide a unique twist on the genre is Palworld.

You can catch and battle creatures known as Pals in the game and it also features base-building mechanics, item crafting, and raids but you may be wondering if you can experience all the content with friends.

So, here’s everything you need to know about whether or not Palworld features multiplayer and co-op modes.

Does Palworld have multiplayer co-op?

Yes, Palworld does support co-op multiplayer.

Palworld allows up to 4 players to play together. This means you can invite your friends into your world, which is great for taking down tough enemies and defending your base from unwanted attacks. Additionally, you’ll also be able to trade Pals with one another. As well as online co-op play, there’s also a dedicated server option that enables adventurers to host up to 32 players in multiplayer

It’s important to note that PvP is not currently supported in Palworld. However, the developers are testing PvP functionality and it’s expected to arrive in the future. During the official Q&A, Pocketpair said the following: 

“We want to find the right type of PvP that fits Palworld and when it is ready, we will share news with you all.”

The maximum number of players on a server will also be increased in a future update, which means there will be even more chances to flex your skills against other players.

So, there you have it, that’s everything you need to know about Palworld multiplayer co-op. Be sure to check out our other Palworld guides below to get the latest tips and tricks for your monster-collecting adventure.
