It has been almost a month since we got a sizable patch for Palworld and Pocketpair has been cooking. Feb. 26’s Palworld patch is one of the biggest the game has had since launch, with fixes for dozens of problems that plagued performance.
The last Palworld patch focused on addressing just a handful of major issues. This time around, the Feb. 26 patch casts a wide net, fixing or adjusting more than 30 different things to help make it more enjoyable for players. In particular, the update includes patching in a way to craft items without needing to constantly hold a button.
Here are the full patch notes for Palworld version v0.1.5.0 update for Steam and Xbox. Some features may be slower to come to Xbox but both patch titles are synced.
