Palworld server downtime: multiplayer going down for a server update, Feb 6

Palworld multiplayer may be unplayable for a brief window today as the team works on improving their servers

It’s no secret that Palworld’s sales and player numbers have exceeded all expectations from just about everyone, including the developers themselves. Despite having well over 100 servers for multiple regions at launch, the Palworld multiplayer servers still can’t seem to handle the load of the amount of players online at once.

That’s why the team has announced they will be performing some server infrastructure upgrades today to help beef them up and handle more players. The downside is that this may prevent you from playing the game online for a short time.

[Server Infrastructure Notice]

There will be some changes to the multiplayer system infrastructure at 10:00 PST on 2/6.
This is in response to the increased number of players currently playing multiplayer.

These changes will not affect any players or saves, but you may…
