Palworld's second update of the week is now available for Steam users, with the Xbox version still in progress. The previous update aimed to improve game performance and address existing bugs, but it also introduced an unpopular change.
Players were disappointed to find that the latest update prevented them from breeding out negative traits in their Pals. This change was particularly upsetting for those who enjoyed creating powerful creatures through breeding. In response to the community's feedback, the developers have decided to revert this change. Additionally, the latest update includes several other important adjustments to the game.
After downloading Palworld Update 0.1.5.1, players will experience improved gameplay with fewer crashes, reduced instances of getting stuck in dungeons, and a fix for the Pal name change issue. The latest update also addresses various server issues. However, there is still a disparity between the PC and Xbox versions of Palworld. PC players can already download the update through Steam, while Xbox gamers will need to wait a bit longer for the update to be available on their platform.

Palworld players on Xbox are eagerly anticipating important updates that will bring the game closer to its PC counterpart. The current lack of dedicated servers on Xbox is a significant issue, with co-op play limited to only four players compared to the 32 players on PC. Xbox is collaborating closely with developer Pocketpair to enhance the Xbox version, hopefully, fans won't have to wait much longer for these features to be implemented.
In the meantime, more Palworld updates are expected to address bugs and further polish the game leading up to its 1.0 release. Despite its early access success, Palworld may attract back lapsed players upon its official release. The evolution of Palworld as an open-world survival game will be intriguing to watch as new features are added in the coming months.

Editor's P/S:
The recent update for Palworld has been met with mixed reactions. While the improvements to gameplay and bug fixes are appreciated, the change that prevented players from breeding out negative traits in their Pals was met with disappointment. However, the developers have since reverted this change, which is a positive step.
The disparity between the PC and Xbox versions of Palworld is still a concern. Xbox players are eagerly awaiting important updates that will bring the game closer to its PC counterpart, including dedicated servers and support for more players in co-op mode. The collaboration between Xbox and Pocketpair is encouraging, and it is hoped that these features will be implemented soon.
