Palworld Developers Confirm Game Will Not Shift to Free-To-Play Model

Palworld Maintains Buy-To-Play Structure Amid Rumors

Palworld has taken the world by storm because of the unique features the game has provided, such as the ability to capture various Pals and build different camps and settlements. It is the ultimate fantasy of the gaming community, especially for fans of the Pokémon franchise with their striking similarities; however, the kicker here is that these Pals can be armed with a wide selection of different firearms, making them far deadlier and much more menacing.

Recently, reports claimed that the developers of Pocket Pair could be making some changes. The developers want to set the record straight and clarify that some of these claims are far from the truth, especially about the thought of turning the game into a free-to-play title.

Future Plans for Palworld

Pocket Pair hit the ground running after the gaming community saw the potential of Palworld. The game developers did not hold back and planned to introduce newer Pals as part of the latest update and new biomes for players to explore earlier this year, winning the player base's favor. Fans were vocal about their desire for new content, and Pocket Pair has high hopes for this project.

The developers went public to set the record straight about recent rumors of the gaming shifting gears and business structures. It was never a serious option nor discussed by studio executives.

The game is thriving with the current structure and gaining more players than other popular games like Helldivers 2 across the PlayStation 5 and PC platforms. Pocket Pair revealed that executives considered distributing more cosmetic items and potential expansions as a way to sustain future development. However, nothing has been set in stone.

Reassurance for the Community

Despite the chatter, the Palworld community should have nothing to fear for the game's future. Pocket Pair has grand ambitions for Palworld and will not risk the game's reputation and quality by gambling on something that may not work out in the long run.

Palworld was never considered to be a free-to-play option during its development. The community manager is overwhelmed by the tremendous support, indicating that the studio stands firmly behind its vision for the game.
