Palworld 1.0 Launch Scheduled Globally at One Time, Pocketpair Confirms

Palworld’s long-running road to version 1.0 is nearly finished. Pocketpair has now confirmed that the full release will roll out at a single, worldwide time, letting players across regions jump into the “complete” build together. Alongside the big milestone, the update brings a range of refreshed systems, brand-new Pals, and other changes aimed at making the game feel more complete than the Early Access era.

When can you play Palworld 1.0?

Pocketpair has confirmed that Palworld 1.0 launches with a global simultaneous release. To help players line up their weekend plans, the article includes a table of common reader time zones so you can see the exact moment the update goes live in your region.

Consider starting again and removing all mods for the 1.0 launch

Before you hit update, there’s an important warning for anyone who’s been using mods. The developers are asking players to manually remove older mod files from the Palworld game directory prior to installing the 1.0 patch. Simply turning mods off inside a mod manager won’t reliably stop everything—leftover files can still be loaded by the game, which may lead to crashes, corrupted save files, or quests not behaving correctly.

The suggested process starts with backing up your save data, then deleting any old mod files directly from the game folder. After that, players should verify their game files through Steam and confirm the title launches cleanly before proceeding with the 1.0 update. If you need more detailed directions, full removal steps are said to be available on the game’s official website.

Beyond mod cleanup, the update also raises the question of whether you should begin a new run. Your existing saves will carry forward, but players who are far into an established playthrough may notice that some newly added Pals, areas, or features don’t show up the way they’re supposed to. The reason is that certain content is linked to earlier progression points. Starting a fresh world is presented as the best route if you want to experience everything Palworld 1.0 adds from the beginning.

Server owners have their own preparation to consider. If you’re playing on a rented server, it’s recommended to back up saves ahead of launch. Server hosts may prefer to keep older saves available while also offering fresh saves for players who want to experience the new content without any legacy progression. For those running a private server, backing up is also advised in case the 1.0 update causes problems with specific server setups or configurations.

If you haven’t been keeping up, Pocketpair also released a Palworld 1.0 trailer that spotlights the new features, additional Pals, and other overhauls. With that in mind, the article’s earlier suggestion to start a new save becomes even more relevant—so you can see where and when the new content is intended to appear.
