Always be cautious with where and how you install mods! Incorrect installation or mod incompatibility can corrupt your saves, and some programs can contain malware that can damage your gaming device.

Can You Install and Use Mods in Palworld?

During Palworld’s initial early access launch, the Steam Workshop and modding will be unavailable. However, Pocketpair plans to implement mod support after the game’s release, allowing you to start creating and using mods to your heart’s content.

In other words, while you won’t be able to use mods at the beginning, you’ll be able to later. It’s only a matter of when, which, as of now, is unknown.

Before Palworld’s early access release on January 19, 2024, modding and Steam Workshop content will be completely unavailable, with no exact ETA on when that’ll change. Pocketpair’s latest FAQ regarding this simple states it “won’t be supported straight away but [that they] plan to add it after launch.” In short, while it could be released shortly after the game’s launch, it could also take some time to ensure everything runs smoothly.

In the meantime, you’ll have to spend launch day playing the game in its vanilla form. It’ll include its early access release content, with single-player and multiplayer compatibility available from day one. There are currently no details on how modding will work with multiplayer, and the options could range from a server’s host having the mods to every player involved. Nonetheless, co-op games and servers will be available from day one, allowing you to play alongside others while waiting for mod support.
