Today Palworld developer Pocketpair released a new patch for its popular survival crafting game Palworld.
The update, which is numbered v0.1.5.0, has been released only on the Steam version of the game so far.
The Xbox version will get it soon, including the PC version from the Windows Store and on Game Pass.
The patch notes have also been released, including the implementation of a save data backup. The developers also fixed a large issue that caused saved data to become bloated with unnecessary data.
We're also getting fully configurable keyboard controls, which is never a good thing. You can read the full patch notes below.
