Palworld Server Hosting

Palworld 1.0 releases on July 10, 2026. According to the official Palworld account on X, launch is planned for around 05:30 CEST (German time); the exact time may be delayed slightly. The update marks the full release and the end of the Early Access period.

Yes. The 1.0 update is free for all existing owners of Palworld – it's a regular game update, not a separate purchase. The first paid DLC "Dawn of the Palpagos" comes later, on July 30, 2026.

Palworld 1.0 launches simultaneously on Steam (PC), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass. From 1.0, dedicated servers support full crossplay between Steam, Xbox, PlayStation 5 and Mac.

Pocketpair calls 1.0 the biggest update yet, with roughly 27 pages of patch notes – including the World Tree region, 70+ new Pals (72 total), the Wing Pack, offshore building, plus reworked bosses and sanctuaries. The dedicated server download is around 12–15 GB.

Less than often claimed: 6-8 GB is enough for 2-4 players, 8-12 GB for 4-8 players, and large guilds with long-running saves do well with 16 GB+. Far more important than RAM is a strong CPU – Palworld's world simulation is single-thread bound. Our servers run on modern AMD Ryzen™ CPUs with over 5 GHz boost – built for exactly that.

Palworld dedicated servers support up to 32 players simultaneously – far more than normal co-op (4 players). We don't cap slots: 32 is the game's limit, not ours.

Yes, you have full access to the `PalWorldSettings.ini`. You can adjust XP multipliers, catch rates, item drops, stamina consumption, egg incubation time, and much more to your liking.

Yes, that is possible, but requires some manual work as player IDs are handled differently on dedicated servers. There are tools in the community that help with this. You can upload the world files via SFTP.

Yes. Since Palworld 1.0, dedicated servers support Full Crossplay between Steam, Xbox, PlayStation 5 and Mac. At RespawnHost crossplay is enabled out of the box. PC players can join directly via IP; Xbox and PS5 players find your server through the in-game community browser – so pick a memorable server name.

We recommend regular automatic restarts (e.g., every 4-6 hours) as Palworld still has problems with memory leaks. This means the RAM fills up over time. A restart clears the RAM and ensures smooth performance.

You must set an admin password in the config. In the game, you can then enter the command `/AdminPassword YOURPASSWORD` in the chat to receive admin rights.

Palworld does not officially have mod support yet, but there are already mods (e.g., UE4SS based mods). These can be installed manually via SFTP. Note that client and server often need the same mods.

Our locations are Frankfurt (Germany) and Salt Lake City (USA). Instead of spreading ourselves thin with locations from New York to London, Tokyo or Hong Kong like other hosts, we focus on the regions where our community actually plays – which keeps pings in the EU and North America consistently low.

Yes – cheaper than classic monthly subscriptions: with Pay-per-Use the 8 GB plan costs ≈ 0.0767 €/hour, so a 3-hour session is around 0.23 €. As a fixed plan you pay 19.00 €/month, effectively 7.98 € with a 360-day term (20% discount).

The default is UDP 8211 for the game plus the Steam query port. At RespawnHost all ports come preconfigured and open – no port forwarding like with home hosting.

Yes, the official dedicated server tool is free on Steam (App ID 2394010) – but your PC has to run 24/7, needs 16 GB+ RAM according to Pocketpair and a port forward. Factoring in electricity and effort, a rented Palworld server from ≈ 0.0767 €/hour is usually the cheaper and easier choice.

Usually it's the well-known memory leaks of the dedicated server or a weak single-thread CPU. Schedule automatic restarts every 6-12 hours, reduce bases and working Pals per guild if needed, and look for modern hardware in your host – our AMD Ryzen nodes are built exactly for this.

If you're more than 4 players, play regularly or want the world to keep running without the host: yes. Co-op ends at 4 players and pauses without the host – a rented Palworld server runs 24/7, with crossplay for console friends and no electricity bill of your own.

Palworld receives frequent updates – including the big 1.0 update, which installs automatically. Our system detects new versions and applies them at the next server restart. Keep your server updated to avoid connection errors.

The 1.0 update (full release) brings the World Tree region with Sky Islands, 70+ new Pals (72 total), the Wing Pack for free flight, offshore building on water, reworked tower bosses and wildlife sanctuaries, plus Full Crossplay. Your RespawnHost server updates to 1.0 automatically on the next restart.

Existing saves generally stay compatible. Pocketpair still recommends a fresh start for the best experience, as many areas and systems were reworked. You can back up your old save via SFTP at any time before starting over.

Yes, PvP can be enabled in the server settings. It is often off by default but can be turned on for exciting guild wars.

Guilds work on dedicated servers exactly like in co-op. You can join forces, share bases, and catch Pals together.

You can set a server password in the settings so only your friends can join. Alternatively, you can leave the server public.

You can create a backup manually or with automatic configuration in the panel at any time or download the `Saved` folder via SFTP.

This is often due to an outdated server version or overload. Restart the server to install updates and clear the RAM.

Yes, this is one of the most popular settings. You can decrease the multiplier for incubation time (PalEggDefaultHatchingTime) in the config so huge eggs don't take hours anymore.

Currently, there is no native whitelist function in the game itself, but this can often be solved via external tools or mods. A password is the safest way to keep unwanted players away.

Yes, you can set what you lose upon death (Nothing, only items, items & Pals, etc.). This makes the game more relaxed or harder, as desired.

The limit for bases per guild can be adjusted in the config. By default, it is limited, but on your own server, you can increase it.

Yes, on a dedicated server, time continues. Your Pals continue to work in the base. Make sure they have enough food, otherwise they will be sick or depressed when you come back!

In the Backups tab you create manual backups with one click or enable automatic backups (hourly to monthly). The first backup per month is free, additional ones start at €0.10/month – the exact overview is shown when creating a backup in the panel.
