After a groundbreaking launch that exceeded expectations with seven million sales in just five days, Palworld developer Pocketpair has unveiled an extensive roadmap for Palworld Future Updates. The team acknowledges the challenges posed by access congestion and other issues and pledges to prioritize critical problems before introducing new in-game features during the early access phase.
The first focus of Pocketpair is to address critical issues that have surfaced post-launch.
