Palworld 1.0 Will Still Cost $29.99, Pocketpair Confirms

Pocketpair has shared good news for players waiting for Palworld 1.0. Even though the game is leaving Early Access, the price will stay the same.

When version 1.0 launches, Palworld will still cost $29.99. Many players expected a higher price after the full release, but Pocketpair decided not to change it.

No Price Change for the Full Release

The developers confirmed the news in a recent post on X after receiving many questions from the community.

According to Pocketpair, keeping the current price is the best way to let more players enjoy the game. Instead of increasing the cost, the team wants Palworld to stay affordable as it enters its biggest update yet.

For anyone who has been waiting to buy the game, there is no need to rush because of a price increase.

Palworld Leaves Early Access

Version 1.0 is a major milestone for the game. After more than two years in Early Access, Palworld is finally getting its full release.

The update is expected to add new content, improve game systems, and introduce more quality-of-life features. While Pocketpair has not revealed every detail yet, players can expect plenty of changes when the update arrives.

Xbox Game Pass Players Are Also Covered

Players using Xbox Game Pass won't miss out either. Palworld 1.0 will be available through the subscription service on launch day, giving Game Pass members another way to jump into the full version.

Should You Start a New Save?

Many fans are already asking the same question: is it worth starting over?

That depends on how long it's been since your last adventure. If you haven't played for a while, version 1.0 could be a great time to begin again and experience all the new content from the start.

Players who already have an existing world can also continue their current adventure and explore the new features as they become available.

Release Date

Palworld 1.0 launches on July 10, 2026, for PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

With no price increase and a full release packed with new content, this could be the best time yet for new and returning players to explore the world of Palworld.
