Palworld is coming to PS5, and soon - in fact, you can play it when it launches today.
The news was revealed at the latest State of Play with a new trailer, showcasing a trainer and their pals waltzing through a dungeon before getting into a scuffle that leaves them rather worse for wear. You’ve got all the classic creature collector battling stapes alongside some of Palworld’s more unique perks - like a rocket launcher. Stunning.
With Palworld coming to PS5 today, that means you can play the open-world survival game onSony’s platform alongside PC and Xbox Series X. Somehow, we don’t think Nintendo is being added to the list just yet.
Palworld’s expected release on PlayStation comes as the open-world survival game is also grabbing headlines as Nintendo launches a legal challenge over patent infringement.
Regardless, as experts point out, this is unlikely to be wrapped up soon, with afive-year time period looking more likely than one year.While it appears that the House of Mario hasgiven up on arguing that Palworld appears too similar to Pokemon,many experts believe things don’t look great for Pocket Pair regardless, asNintendo wouldn’t move unless it’s confident of winning.
