Following reports of potential model shifts, Palworld developer Pocketpair has confirmed the game will remain a buy-to-play title, dismissing speculation of a free-to-play or Games-as-a-Service transition.
Palworld Remains Buy-to-Play
Future Plans: DLC and Skins Under Consideration
In a recent Twitter (X) statement, the Palworld team definitively stated, "We are not changing our game’s business model; it will remain buy-to-play and not F2P or GaaS." This clarifies previous reports stemming from an interview several months ago where the team explored various future possibilities, including live service and F2P models. While internal discussions continue on the optimal path for long-term growth, the F2P/GaaS approach has been ruled out.
The developer emphasized their player-centric approach, acknowledging that a model shift wouldn't align with player preferences. They reiterated their commitment to delivering the best possible Palworld experience, apologizing for any anxiety caused by earlier reports. Future development will be supported by exploring the possibility of releasing cosmetic DLC and skins, with further community discussions planned before implementation.
The team also confirmed that previous statements regarding new content, including additional Pals and raid bosses, remain on track.
