Developer Pocketpair Inc. has released Palworld update 1.000.022 on all platforms this February 25, 2025. This title update was released earlier (or yesterday if you’re in the US) on PC, but consoles are getting it just now.

This is a small download that aims to fix a technical issue, and doesn’t seem to house any gameplay-related adjustments. The patch is tagged as v0.4.15.66880 by the studio in case you’re unsure whether you’ve downloaded it or not.

Freezing Issues Fixed in Latest Patch

The only fix included in this patch according to Pocketpair is the following:

・Fixed a bug that caused freezing and server timeouts when fast traveling on dedicated servers

While this might underwhelm some Palworld players expecting a bigger changelog, the devs did release a major patch last week, which had the following fixes:

Major Bug Fixes

  • Implemented a workaround for a bug that caused map data to reset
  • Fixed several Xbox and SteamDeck crashes.

Mechanics Rework

  • Reworked Random Pal mode. The level of wild pals that appear has been fixed for each region. This means that the strength of enemies will gradually increase as you progress, and only the pals that appear will be random.

Balance Adjustments

  • Adjusted the elemental chest rewards. They are now guaranteed to drop Dog Coins and also have a low chance of dropping work suitability books too.

Network

  • Added measures to address the player rubberbanding issues in multiplayer.

Optimization

  • Optimized save data file sizes.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where Pals at bases would get stuck on each other on dedicated servers
  • Fixed an issue where some naturally occurring map objects, such as mushrooms, were not spawning after being destroyed by player construction
  • Fixed an issue where neutral NPCs spawned in random events would not become criminal when attacked
  • Fixed an issue where Pals would not work if summoned too close to a tree
  • Fixed an issue where NPCs would sometimes shake when firing their guns
  • Fixed minor bugs such as texture issues
  • Fixed an issue where anti-aircraft missile launchers would occasionally respawn
  • Fixed an issue where some buildings would not align properly
  • Fixed an issue where Pals would not enter caves

Once another patch is out, we’ll let our readers know.
