Our servers are compatible with the PC, Mac, Xbox, and PS5 versions of Palworld, with full crossplay support.
We host all of our Palworld servers on our modified TCAdmin v2 platform. This proven, powerful control suite offers the best in server management capability.

Palworld is an open-world survival and creature collection game from Pocketpair where players capture, breed, and put creatures called Pals to work. Build a base, automate production lines with Pals running the assembly, and explore the Palpagos Islands solo or with friends across PC, Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation 5.
Recent Palworld updates have overhauled base building, added new raid bosses, introduced full PvP, and shipped large collaboration events. Pocketpair continues to iterate toward 1.0, so an active dedicated server is the difference between catching every patch with your crew and logging in to a stale local save.
Hosting Palworld through the in-game Invite Code co-op means your world goes offline the moment the host logs out. With a Host Havoc dedicated server, your Palpagos world stays online 24/7, so your friends can keep building, breeding, and raiding without waiting for you.
Palworld's dedicated server process is notoriously RAM-hungry, especially as Pal counts and base structures grow. Our infrastructure runs on high-clock speed processors and NVMe SSD storage, eliminating the lag spikes and save-stutter common on local hosts. Servers scale cleanly to the recommended 32-player cap, and our enterprise-grade DDoS filtering keeps your raids and Pal pens online during attacks.
Every Palworld dedicated server we host supports full Steam, Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation 5 crossplay out of the box. Players from any platform connect through the in-game server browser using your server's address.
Through our intuitive control panel, you have Full FTP Access and a web-based File Manager to edit every value in PalWorldSettings.ini, including capture probability, XP multipliers, egg hatch time, day and night length, damage rates, and the PvP toggle. You can also upload your local single-player save into Saved/SaveGames to migrate an existing world to your dedicated host.
For deeper customization, the Palworld modding scene spans both CurseForge and Steam Workshop. Install CurseForge mods directly through our built-in mod manager, or upload Steam Workshop mods manually via the File Manager. Our one-click update system interfaces directly with SteamCMD so your server runs the latest patch the moment Pocketpair ships it.

Pocketpair's official dedicated server (PalServer.exe on Windows, PalServer.sh on Linux) needs a 64-bit box that stays on 24/7, and it is RAM-hungry: plan for 4 or more cores and 16 GB of RAM, 32 GB or more for larger worlds, on SSD storage since slow disks can corrupt saves. No GPU needed.

PalWorldSettings.ini starts empty; copy the contents of DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini into Pal/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/ (or LinuxServer/), then set ServerName, ServerPassword, AdminPassword, ServerPlayerMaxNum, and PublicPort.8211 on your router and firewall so players can connect.After that it is on you: world-save backups before every major update, restarting after out-of-memory crashes, and absorbing DDoS yourself.
