The first Palworld Update has arrived as the devs look to fix several major bugs players have been experiencing on the Xbox and the Microsoft PC Store versions of the game. Here are the Palworld Xbox Update patch notes.

Palworld has become an instant hit since arriving on January 19, defying all the odds to become one of the biggest and most played games of 2024. Its combination of survival and crafting systems with the creature-catching of Pokemon has proved to be a recipe for success.

But despite the strong start, its status as an early access title means there have been a handful of issues that have disrupted the experience for some players. Luckily, the devs have released the first update to resolve some of these problems in the Xbox and Microsoft Store versions of the game.

Here are the patch notes of everything included in the Palworld Xbox update.

One of the biggest issues Palworld players have been encountering is a black screen bug. Xbox users have been reporting that their screen would occasionally go dark when trying to open the app, leaving them with no way to load in.

Fans will be relieved to hear this problem has been resolved in the Xbox Update, so they should have no issues booting up Palworld going forward.
