Palworld Guides Hub

Palworld is out now in Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Pass via Xbox Game Preview. That means it's finally time for the world to collectively answer the age-old question, "What if Pokemon had guns?" While Palworld is a lot more than that--it also mixes in elements of modern Zelda games and the open-world survival-crafting genre, the main attraction here is the creature collector at the heart of it all.
