Survival games have always been among the most loved ones, in the gaming community. And lately, Palworld is ‘the’ survival game that everyone is talking about. If you’re reading this article, you know what the game is about, and how well it is doing, but one doubt that most people who haven’t yet tried the game have is if Palworld is free to play or not. Let us clear the air, today!
What is Palworld?
Palworld is an action-adventure, survival game, developed and published by Pocket Pair. The game has been in the headlines for various reasons, mostly positive, getting praised for being a solid game offering a superb gaming experience, and a little bit for its stark similarity to Pokémon. We have written an article, talking in-depth what Palworld is.
Is Palworld Free to Play?
Unfortunately, no! Palworld is not free to play, and hence you’ll have to shell out a few bucks, if you want to get your hands on the game. However, if you don’t want to buy the game, there is a cheaper way to get complete access to the game.
How, you ask? Well, the game is currently available on three services:
- Steam
- Microsoft Store
- Xbox Game Pass
Oh! And in order to play the game, you’ll either have to have a gaming PC or any of the last or the current gen Xbox consoles. The game isn’t available on any other platforms as of now. We’ve written an article talking about Palworld’s availability at present, and its future on other platforms.
What is the Cheaper Way to Play Palworld?
We believe the best way to get access to Palworld, if you are just curious about it, and just want to try it, is to do so via the Xbox Game Pass, since the game is available as Game Preview on the subscription service.
This deal would turn out to be even sweeter for first time Xbox Game Pass subscribers, since Microsoft offers the service for dirt cheap rates for the first 14 days.
- In the USA, it costs just $1
- In India, it costs just ₹50
- In the UK, it costs just £1
- In Europe, it costs just €1
In the long run, yes, subscribing to the Xbox Game Pass just for one game, would turn out to be more expensive than buying the game. But to just try a game, this is the cheapest and the most efficient way.
