Pocketpair has set the Palworld 1.0 release time for July 10, 2026. The full release moves the game out of early access and onto PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Palworld 1.0 on July 10
Palworld first launched in early access in January 2024, so this is the point where the game stops being a work-in-progress build and becomes a full release on a fixed date. Players who already bought it during early access will receive the Palworld 1.0 update at no extra cost.
The practical result is simple for current players: there is no separate purchase needed to move into 1.0. For new players, the release date now marks the first day the finished version is due across the listed platforms.
PC, Mac, and console
The full release is available on PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, and on Mac via the Mac App Store, which gives buyers a clear storefront path instead of a vague launch window. It also arrives on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, so the 1.0 rollout is broader than the early access debut.
A Nintendo Switch 2 version has not yet been confirmed, which leaves Nintendo users without a matching platform path even as the rest of the release line-up is set. That gap matters because the launch is platform-specific, not universal, and the current list stops short of Nintendo Switch 2.
The World Tree and Paldeck
Palworld’s 1.0 build adds a major endgame role for The World Tree, new Sky Islands above the Palpagos Islands, and new creatures in The Paldeck, including the Sky Dragon, Sword Eel, Tree Guardian, and Giant Whale. That means the July 10 release is not just a status change; it also expands what long-term players can actually do once they enter the finished version.
The remaining practical question is the exact launch time on July 10, 2026. Until that timing is set, players can plan around the date itself and the platform list, but not the hour the update goes live.
