Summary
It looks like the wildly successful “Pokemonwith guns” gamePalworldis finally coming to the PlayStation 5.Palworldlaunched in early access at the beginning of the year and was an immediate success. The survival game smashed Steam records and is quite easily one of 2024’s best-selling new releases. What makes this even more impressive is thatPalworldhas so far only been available on PC and Xbox.
There have long been rumors thatPalworldis coming to PS5, with bothPlayStation and Pocketpair responding to the demand. No concrete plans forPalworldon PS5 have been announced at the time of this writing, but it looks like an announcement could be happening sooner rather than later.
As spotted by Gematsu, a list of Tokyo Game Show 2024 games has been released by the CESA, and they include a PS5 version ofPalworld. Gematsu noted that the list is not necessarily definitive, and so fans shouldn’t hold their breath, but it does seem quite possible that aPalworldPS5 announcement could happen at Tokyo Game Show.PlayStation is expected to have a big presence at the event(starting September 26) and consideringPalworld’s popularity, it would make a lot of sense for the game’s PS5 port to be unveiled at the show.
Palworld PS5 Announcement Could Be Happening Soon
IfPalworld’s PS5 port is announced at Tokyo Game Show, it would mean big things for the survival game, especially if said port is dropping by the end of the year.Palworldis currently in early access, but PS5 doesn’t really have an early access program equivalent to Steam Early Access or Xbox Game Preview. Therefore, aPalworldPS5 port could very well signal plans for the game’s 1.0 release. This is just speculation at this time, though, and so fans should certainly keep their expectations in check.
Since launch,Palworldhas received numerous updates. Some of these updates have addressed the game’s technical problems, while others have added substantial new content to the experience. In fact, aPalworldupdate this past summer added a brand-new landmass to explorealong with new Pals to catch. Even morePalworldupdates are waiting in the wings, so perhaps the PS5 version will coincide with said update.
WheneverPalworldcomes to PS5, it will open itself up to a massive new audience of players. The only thing remaining would be a port to Nintendo consoles, but it seems highly unlikely that the game will ever come to the Switch.
