New Palworld update adds crossplay, Photo Mode, new drafting table feature and cosmetic armour

Say hello to our pals in console land

You've crossbred Pokénots in Palworld, now get ready to crossbreed... players! Pocketpair have taken a break from their packed schedule of saloon brawls with Mario's lawyers to update their monster-catching survival game with a new Crossplay mode, together with new storage options, a Photo Mode, a cosmetic armour system, and a new Drafting Table feature. That and a multitude of smaller tweaks and fixes.

Witness the crossplaying in the below trailer, in which a base-vandalising Astegon gets its bell rung by a group of visitors presumably running foreign hardware. That'll learn 'em to step on my Lamballs.

The full patch notes are on Steam, but I'd hate you to spend any more time in that terrible, terrible place than you have to, so in the spirit of Crossplatform Playfulness, I'm posting the highlights below.

・Crossplay!
Cross-play is now available across all platforms.
・Global Palbox
Store Pal data in the Global Palbox and transfer Pals between worlds!
・Dimensional Pal Storage
A new storage system with 10 times the capacity of a regular Palbox! Guild members can access it, and it can also be used as a personal storage with private settings.
・Cosmetic Armour System!
You can now equip armour cosmetically in the Antique Dresser. Change your character's appearance without affecting armour stats!
・Photo Mode
Accessible from the Pal Command Wheel. Hide the UI and move the camera around to take stunning screenshots.
・Drafting Table
Combine low-rarity blueprints to create higher-rarity ones!
・Dedicated Servers for Mac

Legal fisticuffs with Nintendo and Palworld updates aside, Pocketpair have recently gotten into games publishing. Their first collaboration is an untitled horror game from Surgent Studios, the people behind Tales Of Kenzera: ZAU. The move into publishing doubles as a spiritual dividend for Palworld players who now look with horror upon their sprawling empires of Pokélike slaves. Rest easy, ye fretful caPaltalists - your blood money is being used to fund a new generation of indie games.
