Pocket Pair.... just... \chef's kiss\**
I'm excited for the weaker pals getting better stat scaling from trust, hopefully it makes them viable
And slower mounts getting more speed sounds just as promising.
Yakumo isn't a fucking snail anymore, dog actually moves around at a decent pace now
Finally! I was just popping him out when I need to catch, now I'll try him as a mount!
Dumud and Celaray for the win!
Foxsparks from beginning to end, let's go.
My Lamball has been on my team since the beginning
I'm gonna try incineram personally, I love his punch combo skill
I haven't been this well treated by devs since Rimworld.
And with a new Rimworld DLC in 2-3 weeks, we'll be eating good again
This is ridiculous. I hope they get sued. Swimming was in generation 1 Pokémon. They totally copied swimming.
You joke, but Nintendo are already on this, along with suing for the use of red, green, blue and many other colours...
Chef's kiss would be them putting back the third person cross hair. This is good though.
sleep with pals
Oh no
And Zoe too I guess.
Dating sim is looking more likely xd
you mean OH YEAH!!!!!
Ayo
Had to reread that for a sec as well.
I'm just waiting for the day they allow you to marry your pal.
looks like that hexolite mining base i built is about to have more slav..i mean workers for the new mines.
Did they add a Hexolite mine as well?
yes they did. at level 61 you also have to beat the feybreak island boss.
So which mines are left now? All of them are covered no?
we still cant mine chromite.
Chromite and they added a new ore according to images dropped of recipes in the discord
Sleep With Pals
Alright, breaking out my banhammer in preparation for this...
You will never stop me from cuddling my Melpacca, its been my main pal and MOUNT since release. There are faster mounts, but none near as cuddly.
I tried cuddling up to Woolipop but not only were they always sticky but they are the evilest pal in existence.
You can eat them up while cuddling
Hey! Phrasing.
I'm pretty sure gobfins are more evil
The first Woolipop I encountered hyperbeamed me lol. I came back and added it to my team after and it never lost so it just became a joke after that in my playthrough :).
My hopes is they let us also join them in the spa, imagine both Depresso and the player face down drowning in the water side by side, that'd be hilarious!
Wait is that how it looks like?
There's no laws against lovanders
something something die a hero or live to become a villain?
They knew what they were doing when they wrote that.
There are human pals... Oh yeah
You know damn well someone sleepin with loveander
way ahead of you pal
Pal? *pulls out palsphere*
It's me. I'm sleeping with my perfect IV Lovander nightly.
Until there is a male-coded version of Lovander for the gays and girls to goon over I'm going to clutch my pearls over y'll scandalous desires for that pal.
We gays can dream for such a himbo
Ahhh, you want an Incineroar. I see how it is :D. https://youtu.be/CVqsQ-9GLLE?t=37
The worst thing about that video is that the song is actually incredibly catchy.
How hasn’t Nintendo nuked this video? 😂
Considering how much they’ve buffed Incineroar over the years, I’m inclined to think they like it
The furrymonication’s growing bolder, I see it in the eye of the beholder
Someone call Bucky.
Allow me to introduce Blazamut
You say that like gays and gals don't love a femboy.
God how do they just keep getting it right. That’s something you don’t see in most games in 2025. I love Palworld
its amazing what happens when the focus is making a good game, not microtransactions, not feeing profits into shareholder maws, not focus groups and marketing droids, not the publishers schedule.
so very few games are built for and from joy, rather than by comittee for profits
Oh boy I’m done downloading, time to hop in.
I’m still 35 minutes to go, jealous!
Girl u need to update ur Fiber network lol
Yes, because apparently everyone here lives in countries like the US where the average internet speed is like 200 mbps
I've heard other countries tend to be better and cheaper, actually.
Laughs in New Zealander
Yeah 200 mbps is nothing to write home about lol
That’s slow for my area of the US as well.
That depends on the country you're looking at tbh
Wait what? Is it already available to download???
I can re-gender my pals now??? Did breeding just get infinitely less grindy?
Yes but you need to do arena battles (there is a solo mode) a new npc that sells the required item is by the door.
I just bought Palworld, is this a lot of new content?
Yes, its a major content update with collab assets and QoL own additional update.
Yes
A whole new fucking game even
This is the biggest update we've ever had.
Its like they took a major update the size of last year's and slapped all the Terraria content on top like its nbd
no doubt based on Terreria's final final final we arent kidding last final update to the final update we claimed was the last final update but its really an update to the final update of the update to the final update v3 patch version.
(iykyk)
It is a LOT of new content. Enjoy the game brosef
it makes Diablo IV's "recent" paid for expansion pack look thin, meagre and a cash grab
(which, it already was, but still, Palworld makes it look even worse)
hey, a fellow D4 hater in the wild. (I generally like D4, but it gets boring).
D4 is "fine" , the seasonal schtick is stale , endgame is dull, I still play on and off.
Odd how a game called diablo completely lacks a diablo fight ...
Yeah, Palworld's come a long way since release.
This game has a GIANT amount of content now if you're brand new. Enjoy.
Woah, this is a lot more stuff than I expected! Gender reassignment for pals, accessing the Palbox anywhere in base, more work on villages+NPCs, ways to increase stats on weaker pals, easy bulk storage?!
Pocket Pair being the devs that just keep giving!
Lets Go!
Wooooo
Do I need to create a new world?
no. however - the updates always address early and late game content. So if you are far ahead you may have to either back track to see what new things were added to early game or you can simply start a new world.
No but it is highly advised
Recommended because depending on where you made your bases, the new laboratories that were added might be in the same spot and break your base
Accessing the palbox everywhere and dumping the inventory into nearby chests is gonna make life so much easier!
Anywhere [in base] its not placeable outside of a base. Though that is mostly for those that have complex multi-floor bases
Yeah, I have a multi floor base and going back to the ground floor every time was incredibly time consuming and annoying
I built my tower with a hole in it for grappling upwards and jumping down
I just restarted and those updraft things are a huge time server real early game as well.
I just started workday right now, so impatient to come back home and start playing.
Nice I bought this game a few weeks ago then today is the big update. Got a reason to play this game again
I’ve been gone for a while…so can you do pal vs pal PvP battles in this arena? Or will it just be gun combat with support pals?
This is an insane update. We are eating so good.
Sleep with pals? Lovander got new animation as well I hope
Damn they really don't joke with updates, everything sounds amazing
Is the terraria part time limited?
Traditionally, Terraria's crossover stuff has been permanent with all its games. Minecraft still has their little Terraria note, Don't Starve Together still has the gear, the Dryad is still in Dungeon Defenders 2, etc. etc.
Unless Nintendo finds some reason to get pissed off, I'd say that the Terraria stuff is there to stay.
PlayStation players.... ITS TIME
Oh....I'm gonna be playing this for a good long while now!
How many new pals added?
I can't get an exact number, but from what I could find it looks like were sitting at about 20 pals
I’m in first dungeon and big hearts with life crystals respawn. Giving infinite health upgrades
Just ran the first dungeon, close to the Fisherman Point waypoint and I'll happily go to sleep looking forward to what awaits me tomorrow.
I love seeing these companies build up on their properties in loving and fun ways
Campfire dmg is no more!
anyone know where to start the zoe quest line?
Anyone noticing significant performance issues on PC right after updating? I used to run full steady 60 with the occasional hiccup after loading big areas, but now I'm suffering from 50-40 fps at base and moving the camera too fast drops from 60 to 55 outside of base.
No settings were touched, what happened?
Gender change is huge. There’s been so many pals I’ve wanted to breed but either only get males or females 🥲 RNG is a bch

This is Reddit, I doubt most people actually care. You be you. But they prolly didn't enjoy global calls of bigotry and then having people grandstand.
Just enjoy the update with us no matter how you identify and I'm sure we all wish you a pleasant update experience as well. Man, woman, pal, or Loveander you're another Palworld fan here. It doesn't matter.
Cmon, just be one of us and enjoy the update <3.
Had no clue where this string came from before I re-read the patch notes lol
These new islands are... small. Like, really small, a little smaller than the sanctuaries. Am I missing a bigger one that they added? I've found three islands so far, two snow ones and one tropical one.
there has been content added to water gameplay. So you can think of the new areas including the ocean - wherein you can 1 - check out the pals new swimming animation and 2 - fish for deep sea items while using a water pal mount.
There are also a plethora of changes to dungeons.
Sleep with pals
At first i tought "oh, this is cute" until i remembered that there are some "pals" that are somewhat humanoid > Palworld has become the ALMOST ultimate goon game (sex update will be next where you will be able to breed humans with pals to place at base)
I dont need my monsties to be anthro for me to get wet for them lol
Yeah, I'm going to guess we'll be getting some mods that will...tweak the sleeping animation for some pals in the future
Finally PS5 dedicated servers. I can finally start playing 😭🔥🔥🔥
“With terraria enemies”
Isn’t there a profile note on quivern that people who sleep with it enjoy a wonderful nap from its softness, but end up dying cause it tends to crush whoever is near. That could be a funny easter egg chance.
From the steam patch notes:
・Salvage System!
⤷ Ride on water Pals and use the fishing rod to salvage supplies at sea! Collect new ores salvaged from the ocean floor to strengthen your weapons.
Has anyone figured out how to "strengthen your weapons" yet, or was that just a mistranslation and they just meant new weapons available? Or perhaps meant that theres quality blueprints in them?
is there an update to this google doc, it was great, put in child and it gives you every possible combo, prefer it over the website format
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YgPc11dgdBUC8jXNp01b7gI6jNHoBRQGwrY_V6lXMgQ/copy
nevermind, the website has two ways to look it up, look up child parents, and look up the parents children, i was after the former.
Great update, thanks!!
surgery table is actually swag holy moly
How do you trigger zoes special mission ive already beat her for the regular battle and hard battle and I've done a ton of missions and I still haven't found where to accept the mission
I can’t seem to find the new island
I hope they fixed the bugs 🙏🙏🙏
I can't wait to actually play this patch
Ps5 can rent servers now ?!?!?!
That is fucking prime, that's pure bliss, just what i've wanted!
I'm excited to try the fishing out, hope it's less of a random keystroke surprise than Ark fishing.
I think the only issue I have been having with Palworld is just that pals craft items from the bottom floor if the crafting station is a few floors higher up, instead of walking up the stairs to the station. Otherwise things seem really polished.
Its a keep the fish icon in the green bar kind of mini game. The bar is large but not much room for error with some pals
This sounds insane fingers crossed they fixed my save game error.
I hope that optimization will be good.
So all the new npc faction bases that show up, almost all of the enemies can attack thru the walls and doors even though you’re far enough away or a floor down or up.
Sick update! Having played in many months but have been waiting for missions and such for those of us who prefer single player content
Ran into a bug with the Desperate Farmer near the Small Settlement where she took a watering Pal, but the mission didn't complete and she'll no longer take a Pal. Anyone know how to fix?
Finally I can rent a server on ps5
Need to choose, PoE or Palworld for this week.
Ok is finally starting to shape up for what I was waiting so far
Good I brought it when released, is a wild ride looking how slowly is shaping up
Guess im starting a new world cuz holy this a good freaking update
Ooh I’m so excited! Can’t wait to absolutely obliterate the new pals with my maxed jetragon 😂
Anyone got a list of new passives? and new pal skills?
Some really really nice QoL stuff here.
I found the arcade in the Fishing Town near the volcano.
Currently exchanging tickets at the pal arena vendor is bugged for me. My controls get locked out but no purchase window appears so I have to return to title and log back in to get control of my char again.
Max lvl raised, how about legendary pals fight?
Thank you very much 🙏
LETS FUCKEN GOOOOOOOO
PS5 DEDICATED SERVERS!!!!!!!!
I havent played in some time. This update looks like a reason to come back and check out all the new stuff I haven't seen yet
Solo Arena...that is definitely something l didn't know l actually wanted.
As usual Pocket Pair putting in the work and somehow building on the already awesome. Thanks guys!
Edit: holy shit the new schematic icons are dope! Edit 2: the subtle improvements in clouds and the sky overall since release haven't gone unnoticed
Anyone know what the Bulk Mat deposit button is? Don't see it in settings
i like a lot of things here. good job devs, i gonna try it asap
Finally a hexolite mine, also I’m happy about getting rid of durability as an option.
PS5 Dedicated Servers - Stand-alone hosting now supported on PS5
I stopped playing between November and December on PS5 and I also no longer have a PSN (active from 2008 to 2024). At the time I also didn't test the multiplayer but it seemed to be local multiplayer. Please could you clarify if there is now multiplayer via PSN (with several players in the lobby like other games) or if it continues the same as before?
I have a question : the collab with terraria is a limited time event? Or can I do it when I want? I'm in uni so I don't have too much time :(
I know it's on Sony but I just want PS5 to be able to join dedicated servers ;(
Where can I see a list of the new passive skills?
Peak
After the update the game looks like minecraft hope it will get fixed soon
The only thing I want to know is
Can you obtain the moonlord just like you can obtain the eye of Cthulhu?
Map reset bug fix ?
Can ps5 Join PC Servers now?
Theres a new world boss to the west of the volcano, whalaska ignis. If anyone knows any other new bosses, plz tell me.
There's the regular Whalaska to the north of the Astral Mountain. AFAIK, those are the only new Alphas found in the world
Did anyone notice that the Galeclaw gloves seem to be nerfed or is it just the lack of activation noise that is making me think that?
Damn this is a good update.
Settlements feeling way better than they were on release! Terraria GOAT colab? New materials?!
PP doing the Jetdragons works.
they did a lot of what i saw people ask for, this is how dev should do, ill be very interested in their next titles tbh
Is anyone else having new graphics problems on xbox?
Shotgun hell yeah
- Save/quick-swap Pal presets in Pal Box
🎵 She's everything I ever wanted, everything I nee~eed 🎶
How do you do the Zoe quest?
do chests not spawn at the end of dungeons anymore?
That surgery table is the one thing I wanted. Now I can actually breed Bellanoir without tearing my hair out trying to get a male.
Gonna make getting 0 passive breeding pairs so much easier.
Or you're trying to breed, and just get bad gender rolls. I can't count the number of times I've been breeding towards a goal, and gotten the wrong gender for the next pair.
Sadly it seems like you can't remove passive skills entirely, only override them with a new one. There is also only a limited selection of passive skills to choose from. Still some useful ones like Nocturnal, Philanthropist, Ferocious and Mercy Hit. No diamond/tier 3 traits though.
EDIT: Seems like you can buy implants from bounty hunters, I saw Artisan for sale in one of their inventories.
You can get serenity, runner and infinite stamina for the merchant at the pal arena.
Overwriting passives is potentially huge for raid bosses as well depending on how it works. No longer will I have to pull the Dr Brawn slot machine in hopes of rolling a passive I want.
I'm a lover of breeding but an alternative for people that would prefer to grind combat rather than sitting at a ranch base pairing pals over and over is a great option
(it also makes all those damn 1-off breeds I get salvageable.)
I still haven't found that mofo on my server. I swear he never spawns for me.
This is such a godsend. A problem with each major update is that when new passives get released, ya have to re-breed your Pals to make them fully optimized again. This'll cut out so much regrinding and let us keep growing attached/buffing our faves as more updates drop.
Finally, i want an all girl team. (changing passives is neat too)
This is crazy considering the first one I ever fought gave me a male bellenoir
Lucky I fought it three time and all girls🤦🏻♀️
I've fought that bitch 20 times and not a single male!
Got a male one on my first tty
