Palworld has just deployed a patch that is a real disaster on Xbox and is driving players completely crazy.
In the cutthroat world of survival games, Palworld’s latest update caused such a problem for players on Xbox Series X/S that developers had to urgently intervene. Pocketpair, the studio behind the game, strongly discourages players from loading multiplayer data while waiting for a resolution. In short, it’s a disaster.
Back to the Future for Palworld
Released on April 8, this update, initially celebrated with the introduction of the raid boss Bellanoir, already available on PC, promised to enrich players’ experience on Xbox with new challenges. However, a significant negative effect was quickly noticed. Accidentally loading old save data when accessing multiplayer, potentially significantly reducing player progress. Yes you’ve read correctly.
Faced with this worrying situation, Pocketpair took the lead and alerted the community via social networks. We recommend avoiding multiplayer on Xbox Series X/S until the issue is resolved. An announcement that caused a wave of reactions among players. Many are expressing concerns about the security of their game data.
Fortunately, there remains hope for Palworld fans. Just hours after reporting this critical bug, the developers announced that they had identified the cause of the problem. And they’re working hard to develop a fix that should restore normal multiplayer functionality on the affected consoles.
This technical mishap unfortunately comes at a time when the latest update has been praised for its significant improvements. And adding features expected by the community, such as new methods to quickly evolve companions in the game or an ability that allows the player to instantly return to the main base.
So while you wait for more great news, as an Xbox gamer you should of course wait for a new announcement from the studio. Because now is not the time to risk your score on a dice roll.
