Palworld Side by Side Is Actually the Version 1.1 Update

There has been quite a bit of talk lately about the mysterious Palworld Side by Side reveal. Many fans initially thought the studio was teasing a brand new game or a massive expansion, but the team at Pocketpair has officially set the record straight. It turns out that Side by Side is not a separate title, but rather the name for the upcoming version 1.1 update for the base game.

John Buckley, the head of publishing and communications at the studio, took to social media to clear up the misunderstanding. He confirmed directly that the confusing branding was just a way to label the latest patch. This news comes as a relief to players who were worried about the community being split between multiple projects.

While this might not be the sequel some were hoping for, it is great to see the developers staying focused on improving the original experience. We are keeping a close eye on the official channels for a release date and a full list of features coming in version 1.1.
