It's only been a few hours since Palworld launched on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass (along with Steam), and it's clear that it's going to be an absolutely massive hit, racking up hundreds of thousands of concurrent players already.
Unfortunately, the servers are being absolutely rammed with Palworld fanatics as a result, which means they've become "unstable" and players are getting an error message when trying to create a new multiplayer world. You might be here because you're searching for a fix, and if so, here's what the team has to say about it:
How To Fix Issue With Creating Multiplayer Worlds In Palworld
The developer of Palworld advises that in order to fix the multiplayer issue, you can try "attempting to connect 2-3 times or waiting after launching the game". There's no guarantee you'll be successful though, as it's been confirmed that "the servers have become unstable and you may be experiencing issues connecting".
"Hello everyone, We are blown away with the response to Palworld and we're doing our best to respond to your issues! Currently, our server provider is reporting that due to the large amount of concurrent players, the servers have become unstable and you may be experiencing issues connecting to servers.
We are working to resolve this ASAP! In the meantime, some users have reported success in attempting to connect 2-3 times or waiting after launching the game."
If you come across this Palworld multiplayer world issue, you'll see an error message that says "OnCreateSessionCompleteDelegate == False", and it's an indication that the servers are too overwhelmed right now.
To be honest, we expect the demand to only get larger over the weekend as well, so hopefully developer Pocket Pair can find a way to implement a more permanent fix for this new Xbox and PC Game Pass release.
Speaking of hype, Palworld has already officially sold over 1 million copies in the first eight hours of sale, so clearly it's been a ridiculously big success for the team. Not bad for a game that's still in early access right now!

Have you run into this issue? Surprised at how popular Palworld has been? Tell us down below.

Played about an hour before work this morning. I enjoyed it so far and cannot wait to dive into it some more. Also, plan on getting my wife and 6 year old to play with me since we have played alittle Ark a few months ago.
Do not know if $30 is justified so far but for it being on gamepass it is an excellent addition. Especially considering I am 34 and grew up on Pokemon and ark has about 1,000 hours of my life from early acces up until 2023 lol
1 million copies in 8 hours is insane
I played this with my two boys this morning. It is amazing. I hope I can bring the wife in too tbh. So long Pokémon, it was nice knowing you.
Was slightly skeptical, but it is really fun to play!
After looking into this Developer's previous game, Craftopia, I discovered crossplay was promised but never delivered, same for dedicated servers for Xbox. (
This doesn't give me much hope that I will ever get to play this game on server full of people. Four player coop with no matchmaking is archaic.
This game has me so stoked I can't wait to try it out! This COULD be what Xbox needed and Microsoft never saw it being as big of a hit
Will definitely be playing this one on PC soon
I started it earlier .....it's so addictive ,Im.having a problem leaving the game alone ...I hate my real life getting in the way of gaming lol
@Martsmall
Lol i was planning to wait till i got my salary, your comment made the wait even harder. And thats from someone who is NO Pokemon fan lol. But this game really grabbed me.
@The-Chosen-one honestly I have played for 12 hours and I'm itching to get back to it but I really have to sleep ......do I really need sleep ?
I'm not a Pokémon fan either this has hit come as a bit of a suprise how much I'm enjoying it
Edit : and in that 12 hours I still haven't started building my house yet been enjoying grabbing the pals too much
@Martsmall
Haha wow.
Okay screw my salary, will be getting this later today.😂
@The-Chosen-one if ur Into buying from other countries , gamivo has it for approx £2 Argentina
@Martsmall
Im from Europe, can i still buy that one? I dont know about restrictions?
Somehow the developers said "Let's just throw everything in from every popular game" and it wound up working. Something tells me even they didn't expect this to be as big of a bit as it was but it really is a more approachable Ark game. As someone who has played a lot of Ark I do miss some of the more complex strategies for catching beasts that that game had but appreciate the simplified approach of this game and how easy it is to automate your base. Though the sheer absurdity of a squirrel sitting on my head firing a submachine gun at my enemies is definitely a new experience for me and I love it.
@The-Chosen-one yeh as long as after you buy you use a VPN set to what ever country the key is for to redeem
It did give us some key information about player split, as they've tweeted they have server issues as concurrent players have topped 700,000 and at the time 550,000 were on Steam, so between Epic, Xbox PC and consoles that's 150,000 is players
Watching my son play it at the minute. It seems cool but very rough. Looking forward to playing it in a few years when it's finished.
@Martsmall
Just purchased it, but got it for steam instead.
Man cant wait to play this game, been watching some videos and was like i need this now lol.
Looks soo fun.
@The-Chosen-one oh it is I'm still going at it
@HeavyHoggJP I’m 37 and I use to go to Pokemon card tournaments haha. I have tons of hours in Ark so this has just been amazing. The mechanics with the pals and what they help you do at bases and their special abilities are cool! LifMunks special, the monkey and the penguin have some cool ones. Can’t wait to do more. Best my first boss with a friend. I like the call the syndicate a fake team rocket 😂😂
No way they knew it would be this insanely popular, so not surprised the servers struggled. Good on 'em, and for early access it's pretty fleshed out.
I am having fun with it for early access it works better than most off late.
This is seriously my favorite game i have now.
(Switch, pc, xbox ps5) bought this for steam. I love playing these kinda games with mouse and keyboard.
