Palworld is an all-new survival game inspired by Pokémon that allows you to collect Pals and train them for battle while putting them to work on building your base and fighting alongside you.

What makes this game even more entertaining, is its multiplayer feature that allows you to connect with other players and explore the fantastic world with your friends.

You have the option to either join a public server or a dedicated server if you do not want random strangers intruding into your game.

Palworld developers already maintain several dedicated servers you can join but the main reason to set up your own server is to allow yourself to play with more than 3 people, 31 to be exact.

Palworld dedicated servers can host up to 32 players combing through its islands for Pokémon-like monsters and valuable resources. Developer Pocketpair has plans to increase that number in a future update, as well as add an in-game method for server hosting. Right now, though, hosting your own Palworld dedicated server takes a few extra steps.

To set up a multiplayer server, you need the Steam version of the game. Due to the complexities of updating games on consoles, the Xbox/Microsoft Store/Game Pass version of the game doesn’t currently allow dedicated servers of any kind. The only way to have a persistent multiplayer server for you and your friends is to buy it on Steam, and because crossplay isn’t a thing yet, your friends will need it there too.

Although there are multiple public servers available, you can also create private dedicated servers if you have the means and want to play with a dedicated group of friends. Here, I’ll tell you how to set up dedicated servers in Palworld using two different server tools.
