Palworld Leak All But Confirms It's Release On A New Console

's time in the spotlight may have come to an end but those who managed to miss the game thanks to its Xbox console exclusivity will be delighted by this recent leak. The open-world survival game that took heavy inspiration from proved to be a smash hit in early 2024, quickly rising to the top of the charts on both Steam and Xbox. Developer PocketPair has done a commendable job of keeping the dedicated player base invested, but it's about to open the doors to an entirely new audience.

It's worth noting that with the event still a few weeks away the list could be altered, but aside from official confirmation from PocketPair, this is about as official as one can expect from an online leak. Regardless, PlayStation 5 players eager to build their collection of Pals should at least take it with a grain of salt and wait for some kind of announcement from the studio before getting too excited.

Thanks to an excellent word-of-mouth marketing campaign and several bizarre trailers, many users were happy to take a gamble on the game thanks to it being included in Microsoft's subscription service.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether this strategy works out in the long term but PocketPair has managed to curate and support a decent community without the PS5.
