Palworld PS5 announcement coming at TGS this month

Palworld got off to a hot start at launch in January 2024, but so far, the game has been an Xbox console exclusive. That is finally set to change very soon, with the long-awaited PS5 version set to be announced later this month. 

According to the Japanese-focused gaming site, Gematsu, a document featuring a list of games planned to appear at the Tokyo Game Show this month has been published online. Curiously, this list does include Pocket Pair's Palworld, listed as a PS5 game.

As the PS5 is vastly outselling the Xbox in Japan, it makes perfect sense to show off the game running on PS5 at TGS.

This news follows on from the announcement that Pocket Pair plans to partner with Sony Music Entertainment to “promote new developments of Palworld” in the future. This likely means cross-media ventures, rather than anything to do with the game itself, but it is still an interesting development.

Palworld initially went viral months ahead of release for its trailer featuring Pokémon-style creatures with guns. Microsoft was quick to capitalise on the viral moment by securing timed exclusivity for the game on Xbox consoles, as well as a deal to bring the title to Game Pass at launch.

KitGuru Says: Things have been a little quiet on the Palworld front in recent months but that is set to change later this month. Hopefully the PS5 release will be accompanied by a new content update for all platforms.
