Summary
- Palworld's recent minor update, v0.4.15.66880, fixed a bug causing freezing during fast travel.
- Pocketpair often addresses game issues and adds new content to keep Palworld popular.
Pocketpair has recently released a minor update for Palworld, which is currently available for the PC, Xbox, and PlayStation versions of the title. Palworld’s Update v0.4.15.66880 is much smaller than its predecessor and addresses one major issue that has plagued the survival game.
Released in early access in January 2024, Palworld quickly became a huge hit. According to recent data shared by Pocketpair, Palworld has reached over 32 million players on various platforms so far, when considering both people who purchased the game or played it via Xbox Game Pass. Part of the reason why Palworld has remained such a popular game is that Pocketpair is constantly releasing new updates to address the most important issues that the title had and offer more content to avid gamers.
Palworld Players Show Off Impressive Base Builds
Some dedicated Palworld players take to social media to share the marvelous bases they crafted in the game to serve a unique purpose.
Now, the new Update v0.4.15.66880 is available for the PC, Xbox, and PlayStation versions of Palworld. The update makes only one change: it fixes a bug that previously caused freezing and server timeouts when gamers used fast travel on dedicated servers. So, while this is a minor update that will not affect many players, it’s still an important one to improve the stability of multiplayer games.
The latest patch comes on the heels of the recent Update 0.4.15 for Palworld, which was released a few days ago. This recent patch was largely aimed at refining the game’s systems rather than adding new content, and it completely overhauled the game’s Random Pal Mode. The update also added a few noticeable improvements to the Xbox version of Palworld, increasing its stability, and fixed multiple bugs on all platforms.
The latest major content update that Palworld received was the Feybreak Update, released in December, and it was mostly well-regarded by the community. The Feybreak update introduced a major new island and one faction, tweaked a few mechanics, and added challenging Hardcore Mode to Palworld. The new Feybreak Island was around six times the size of Sakurajima, which was added to the game before.
Hopefully, Palworld players can expect much more from the popular survival game while it moves towards its 1.0 release, which does not have an official release date yet. It’s unclear if Palworld will reach its full launch in 2025, but players can at least expect that one or two major content updates will still be out this year, helping the title to feel fresh and continue to be considered one of the most popular survival games available these days.
