Newest Palworld Update Lands on Xbox

Palworld on Xbox received its second update of the week. Developer Pocket Pair recently dropped Patch 0.1.5.0 for Palworld, which addressed a wide range of issues from Pal AI to cheating and other various bugs.

Palworld update 0.1.5.1 reduces various game crashes, fixes server issues, balances gameplay, and even addresses a bug in which players were unable to give Pals nicknames. Additionally, Pocket Pair has addressed some issues in Palworld's dungeons that have been plaguing players. Of course, Palworld is still in early access, so players should expect more patches before this already massive hit reaches 1.0.

In addition to bug fixes and stabilization patches, Palworld revealed its future content roadmap, which will feature PvP, raid bosses, new Pals, new areas, and crossplay.

While that's arguably the console's most glaring omission in terms of features, the Xbox version is also limited in terms of its multiplayer capacity in
