Pocketpair has confirmed Palworld’s next major content update, named Side by Side, is on the way this winter. The studio hasn’t detailed what the update actually adds yet, but the announcement comes as Palworld continues its march toward a full 1.0 release later in 2026. You can check the current build and player counts on the official Palworld Steam store page.
What We Know So Far
Beyond the name and a winter 2026 window, Pocketpair has kept Side by Side under wraps, telling players to “stay tuned for further updates on what this new content will bring.” Palworld is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, and Pocketpair has said the game is going quiet on marketing specifically because its full 1.0 launch later this year is shaping up to be a much bigger reveal.
The Road to 1.0
Side by Side joins a run of seasonal content Palworld has shipped since launch, including last year’s Halloween update, and gives players another reason to keep their base running while they wait for the full release.
