During the Summer Game Fest livestream, PocketPair announced the next major update for Palworld, featuring the Sakurajima Island, Arena-PVP, Xbox Dedicated Servers, and plenty of new Pals and subspecies.
How to Play the Sakurajima Update
Once the Sakurajima update is released, it will be available on PC, Xbox, and Gamepass. To truly maximize your experience, we highly recommend purchasing a dedicated server. This will allow you to fully manage your gameplay, customize settings, and even install additional mods to enhance your adventure.
You have two options when it comes to dedicated servers:
- Set up and configure your own server: How to Setup a Palworld Dedicated Server.
- Rent a dedicated server from a hosting provider: DatHost: Palworld Server Hosting.
