PocketPair confirms that Palworld won't be free-to-play

Recently, rumors circulated regarding PocketPair's famous game, Palworld, suggesting a shift towards a live-service game with a free-to-play model based on earlier comments from PocketPair’s CEO. However, in a definitive statement, the team at PocketPair has put those foolish ambitions to rest and confirmed that Palworld won' be adopting this approach. It was revealed that the rumors were based mostly on an interview that was conducted ‘several months ago’ when PocketPair was just starting with Palworld and hadn't decided the game’s future. You can check it out in the post below.

In a move that emphasizes the importance of player experience, PocketPair has chosen to retain Palworld as a buy-to-play game. However, they will instead focus on periodic updates like new skins and DLCs to support ongoing development.

For now, the game won't be a free-to-play game but that’s not a bad thing. In the comments under the post on X, many fans spoke positively about this confirmation.
