Palworld's mobile port cannot suffer the same fate as Stardew Valley

PalworldThe popularity and success of this hybrid monster-trapping/survival game allowed it to expand its reach. Porting Pocketpair's creation to Xbox and PlayStation 5 allowed the game to gain many new fans, prompting Pocketpair to plan to release a mobile version that will attract even more attention. WITH Palworld officially launched on multiple platforms, one wonders how updates, especially mobile ports, will be handled. If there's one thing Pocketpair should do about it, it's not copy how Stardew Valleyvarious versions have been released.




Now that Pocketpair has signed a contract with PUBG: Battlegrounds developer Krafton for a Palworld mobile version, one of the biggest concerns would be about the updates, specifically the mobile ports and whether they will get them on the same day. Pocketpair should seriously consider this issue as the developer will want to learn from it Stardew Valleydelayed updates between its PC version and the rest.

Palworld coming to mobile means that one feature is needed now more than ever

Since Palworld will launch on mobile devices in the near future, one long-requested feature needs to be added to the game as soon as possible.

Why should Palworld ensure that the update schedule of its mobile version is the same as that of the PC version

Development PalworldA mobile version could be putting the cart before the horse given the Nintendo lawsuit that Pocketpair has to deal with. Still, a port is already said to be in development, leading to speculation about how updates will be handled. Regarding this matter, Palworld must not follow Stardew ValleyUser steps for very long version differences between PC and other platforms, as this could lead to the following:


  • Gamers are losing interest in the mobile version due to less content compared to PC
  • Decisions that could lead to the mobile port getting different content and being perceived as underdone
  • Complaints from those who would rather play the mobile version but have to navigate bugs or other issues that have already been fixed on PC

Such issues should be reason enough for Pocketpair to ensure that all platform versions of the game are updated at the same time. If handled well, it could give fans more reasons to play Palworld again, while ensuring that they do so without material inconsistencies between platforms.

The reason why Palworld doesn't have to worry too much about the delay between mobile and PC version updates

One of the reasons why the update to Stardew ValleyThe mobile port has been taking so long that it's only being worked on by its sole developer, Eric Barone. Having a single creator working on most of the updates for the various versions of the game will undoubtedly take some time since one person can only do so much. However, this should not be the case Palworld.


Being one of the many indie games that became a huge success allowed it to work with a big company like Krafton. If it can handle updates at the same time PUBG: Battlegrounds' PC and mobile version, hopefully it can do it for Pocketpair.

Palworld embracing its growth and overcoming challenges has given it an amazing opportunity to enter the mobile market, but such a venture comes with challenges. Overall, the mobile port of the game needs to get updates at the same time as the PC version or without a significant delay to blend them as much as possible.
