Palworld Releases New Xbox Update, Here's What It Does

02/28/2024 07:35 am EST

A new Palworld update is live on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S platforms after previously releasing on PC earlier this week. Unfortunately, the new update -- officially titled patch v0.1.5.0 -- does not contain any new content or any major new feature. In this regard, the update is inconsequential. However, what it does come packing, just like it did on PC, are some fixes the patch notes describe as "major." There are also some balance changes with the aim of improving the game. 

While we know everything the Palworld update on Xbox does, thanks to the patch notes, below, developer Pocket Pair has not provided any information about the file size on Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S. In other words, we have no information to offer about how long it may take to download the update. All we can note as insight is the fact that there is no new content and the patch notes aren't overly lengthy, which indicates a lighter file size, aka a quicker download.
