Pocketpair, the developer ofPalworld, is quick to tout the game’s multiplayer. However, you may not be of the friend-have variety of person and might wonder if it can be played single-player.

Good news, it can.

Palworldis a survival crafting game, much like theForestorArkseries or any number ofMinecraftderivatives. For a reason a misanthrope like myself can’t understand, it’s a popular genre for multiplayer. Why would I want to be stranded somewhere with other people?

But like most other games in the genre,Palworldcan be played single-player offline. When you create a new world, you are able to simply state whether or not you want it to be multiplayer. If you change your mind later, and suddenly like human contact, you can edit your session to allow multiplayer and take it online.

Is Palworld multiplayer?

Are there any limitations to playing by yourself? Not that I’ve experienced.Palworldfeatures a lot of automation opportunities. You can essentially hand off resource gathering to the Pals you capture, and careful base building can mean total efficiency. At this point, I wonder how another human could even help things. But I wonder that a lot. Like, in general.
