Pocketpair has released the version 0.5.0 update for open-world survival crafting monster-collecting game Palworld, which adds cross-play, a new storage system, a Photo Mode, and more, the developer announced.
Here is an overview of the update, via Pocketpair:
New Content
- Cross-Play
- Cross-play is now available across all platforms.
- Global Palbox
- Store Pal data in the Global Palbox and transfer Pals between worlds!
- Dimensional Pal Storage
- A new storage system with 10 times the capacity of a regular Palbox! Guild members can access it, and it can also be used as a personal storage with private settings.
- Cosmetic Armor System!
- You can now equip armor cosmetically in the Antique Dresser. Change your character’s appearance without affecting armor stats!
- Photo Mode
- Accessible from the Pal Command Wheel. Hide the user interface and move the camera around to take stunning screenshots.
- Drafting Table
- Combine low-rarity blueprints to create higher-rarity ones!
- Dedicated Servers for Mac
Specification Adjustments
- Buildings can now be placed even if they overlap with a Pal.
- When connecting foundations or roofs, the connected pieces will now automatically align in the same direction.
- Assigning an Ice Pal to the Flea Market will slow down item decay in storage and sales.
- Added torches at the entrances of random dungeons for better visibility.
- Players can now sit on chairs and cushions.
- Some weapons that dealt ultra-high damage to trees will no longer drop items upon destruction.
- Added new NPCs and improved NPC behaviour during conversations.
Balance Adjustments
- Adjusted elemental chest rewards. Dog Coins will always drop from these chests and they also have a small chance of containing work suitability books. (Existing chests in current worlds will retain old drop tables; new ones will follow the updated table.)
- Increased EXP gained from defeating the Attack Chopper.
- Increased the DPS of Flamethrowers.
- Adjusted the default attack used by Electric and Dark Pals when all active skills are on cooldown, making them more in line with the other elements.

- Summoned raid bosses can no longer damage other bases.

- Holding the + / – button in the Pal Soul Enhancement user interface will now continuously increase / decrease values.

- Added a “Extra Large” text size option.
- Added Fullscreen Mode.
Achievements
- Added several new achievements.
