While Palworld players can stick to multiplayer with friends, if you have more than 4 players in your party, you will have to explore different options. Palworld is full of exploration, crafting, fighting, and catching Pals. All of this can be fully experienced with your friends. If you have more than 4 players, setting up a dedicated server in Palworld is the best option to proceed.

At the time of writing, setting up a dedicated server is limited to Steam users. So if you’re an Xbox or Game Pass user, chances are you won’t be able to host a server anytime soon. The software required to run dedicated servers is only available with Steam. That said, our guide will explain to Steam users how to join or host a Palworld dedicated server.

First of all, the most important factor that players need to remember is that the person hosting the game needs to have a good PC. Since they need to run the server software and have it running all the time for their users, it needs to be working perfectly to avoid lag or gameplay issues. As mentioned, the server software is only available on Steam

Please note – The steps below require some technical knowledge and should be followed to the letter. If you skip any steps or do something different, you may encounter problems on your PC.
